Peace with Honour: The Blue Nile
Barney Hoskyns, Independent, The, 7 June 1996
WHEN PAUL Buchanan opens the new Blue Nile album with the question "Now that Ive found peace at last/Tell me, Jesus, will it last?", his words belie the turmoil that went into the making of the record. This time last year, "peace" was the last word Buchanan would have chosen to describe his state of mind.
