Injuries Association, a charity
chosen as a result of Neil Primrose’s spinal injuries
sustained during the band’s 2002 European Festival
tour.
A highlight on the album for many
critics, Love Will Come Through combines a lilting melody
with Fran Healy’s
poignant vocals and was described by one writer as “one
of the best things Travis have ever recorded”.
Two previously unreleased tracks,
both written by Dougie Payne, are also included on the
cd along with a ‘home
video’ made by Fran and Anton Corbijn. Full track listing
as follows: Love Will Come Through; Know Nothing; Good For
Nothing; Love Will Come Through (video).
