Last.fm Discover: Travis’s Fran Healy Uncorks “Moonshine”
While Travis is on a little break, the band’s lead singer and chief songwriter Fran Healy has kept quite busy. After going cross-country with bandmate Andy Dunlop doing a “history of Travis” tour, he then put his time and effort into his first solo album, Wreckorder.
Fans of Travis should immediately dig this record. The first time we heard it back in August we had five favorites. After seeing him live, opening up for Keane in Brooklyn on the waterfront a few weeks after that, we gravitated towards a few other songs as well.
In Fran’s interview he tells us how he got Neko Case and Paul McCartney to appear on the record, and of course we also talk about Travis. Then listen to him perform “Moonshine” live in our studio.
“Moonshine” live at Last.fm Discover.
