Kate Bush re-recorded some of her old material for release on Director's Cut. The elusive singer has revisited a selection of songs from her 1989 album The Sensual World and 1993's The Red Shoes. All the lead vocals and drums on Director's Cut are new performances, some of the tracks featuring guests including Steve Gadd, Danny Thompson and, on backing vocals, Mica Paris. Three songs have been completely re-recorded, one of which is This Woman's Work.
