Solo Career
On 11 October 2004, Broudie released his debut solo effort, Tales Told, which was embraced by critics and fans alike — despite that fact that Tales Told saw Broudie move into folk rock territory and away from the chirpy pop tunes of The Lightning Seeds. However, the album performed poorly in terms of sales and Broudie's hope that "word of mouth" would help to shift copies of the work never quite transpired. The first song on the album, "Song for No One", featured in the opening episode of the 3rd season of the U.S. TV series The O.C.. Prior to his solo 2012 tour, he talked to 6 Towns Radio in Stoke-on-Trent about producing and The Three Lions.

Famous quotes containing the words solo and/or career:
“All mothers need instruction, nurturing, and an understanding mentor after the birth of a baby, but in this age of fast foods, fast tracks, and fast lanes, it doesn’t always happen. While we live in a society that provides recognition for just about every life event—from baptisms to bar mitzvahs, from wedding vows to funeral rites—the entry into parenting seems to be a solo flight, with nothing and no one to mark formally the new mom’s entry into motherhood.”
—Sally Placksin (20th century)
“The problem, thus, is not whether or not women are to combine marriage and motherhood with work or career but how they are to do so—concomitantly in a two-role continuous pattern or sequentially in a pattern involving job or career discontinuities.”
—Jessie Bernard (20th century)
