	Travis: The Man Who---Ink Blot Magazine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		On Good Feeling, Fran Healy sings "all I want to do is rock." Though he doesn't say it outright on The Man Who, this time all he wants to do is talk.
		Where other songwriters might retreat, Healy here reveals an even deeper vulnerability, a bold move that is all the more compelling considering how much every member of Travis has upped the ante from their debut.
		Healy's lyrical supplication is then matched musically by Andy Dunlop and Neil Primrose on the slow-burning "As You Are." Similarly, the smoky harmonica interlude adds a proper dose of remorse to the woeful lyrics of "Luv."

		Fran is a Kansas City Royals alumnus, no? As long as he doesn't screw up what Kansas City baseball fans care so passionately about, that is, the Chiefs, Fran should be able to toil away anonymously, contentedly, in K.C. for many years.

	BBC - South Yorkshire Music - Interview with Travis singer Fran Healy
		Eight years ago Fran Healy and his cohorts made a pledge, as true today as it was then, to play every show as though they would never play another.
		I wonder if Healy penned these songs in a conscious effort to politicize a band that have, in the past, been considered a little lightweight or disposable.
		With a sold out Dome already filling up and ready to join the rest of the country in roaring its approval though, one can only assume that he is beginning to get the idea.

		Fran Healy explains why "you cannot own a song." (And why Liam Gallagher "is going to turn into a really great songwriter.")
		This probably explains why Fran was so vocally supportive of Oasis throughout the interview - down to defending Liam's songwriting - despite the fact that many of his comments appeared to verify my belief that Travis are the antithisis of the Mancunian former giants.
		One difference he certainly couldn't disagree with: Fran is one of rock's all-round nice guys, and he is not going to allow sudden fame and fortune to change that.

		We've had to listen to this yokel for way too long, but my fear is that Wilpon will show loyalty to him since he's been such a goon for the corporate side of the time.
		SportsNet New York can take a stand for quality sportscasting by not taking on Fran Healy, whose longevity on Mets telecasts for 22 years shows him to be a survivor despite a voice that is best muted and a fanny pack full of mediocre insights.
		Healy is insufferable, and the network launch will demand that they come up with a good broadcast team for the first year.

	Travis: Good Feeling---Ink Blot Magazine
		Healy's voice, which radiates with a sexy gallantry on the rock tracks, becomes much softer and evocative, often settling between the quavering tones of Thom Yorke ("More Than Us") and the breathy hum of Bono ("I Love You Anyways").
		People may throw around the term "Beatlesque," but Good Feeling is actually deserving of it.
		With music that captures the spirit of the best rock, Good Feeling should have proud place among your most essential albums.
