After more than 15 years as the leader of the Scottish rockers Travis, Fran Healy is making his solo debut with 'Wreckorder "which goes on sale on October 5 . And here the best part said, "This album, compared to all other discs, I have to be honest, is exactly the same." "All Travis albums are my songs, so that each album is a collection of songs. My songs are always so personal that I always well understood. "
Each time someone makes solo, fans were worried about the future of the band. Well, Travis fans can relax - Healy actually got permission from the rest of the band to go on their own. "We reached the end of our tour last year and everyone was a little burnt and needed a break, but I really did not want to stop," he says. "So, I asked everyone if you could make a record."
"There comes a point where it naturally occurs to the main songwriter of banda: Hey, I like to try and work with other musicians. I try to do a duet with them or do my thing, so for me it's just a logical step. " Particularly
I think Travis has great songs, beautiful, and I appreciate a lot for a character reference in the music does not put the mask of so many other singers and say things like: he is the main songwriter for the band, their new album will sound very similar to Travis and he did it because I wanted to play with other musicians. Come and tell the truth never hurt anyone.
