Sooo Peter Gabriel is coming out with "new" material this year. The album is called Scratch My Back and the premise is in the title.. if you cover one of his tunes, he'll do the same for one of yours (we love you Peter Gabriel). The album is going to be released on March 2nd through Virgin Records:
"To help craft his recording of the album's eclectic array of cult favourites and classic tracks, Peter enlisted former Durutti Column member John Metcalfe as composer/arranger and the expertise of producer Bob Ezrin (Pink Floyd's The Wall, Lou Reed's Berlin) and engineer, mixer and producer Tchad Blake (Suzanne Vega, Sheryl Crow, Tom Waits)."
Tracklist:
01 "Heroes" - David Bowie
02 "The Boy in the Bubble" - Paul Simon
03 "Mirrorball" - Elbow
04 "Flume" - Bon Iver
05 "Listening Wind" - Talking Heads
06 "The Power of the Heart" - Lou Reed
07 "My Body Is a Cage" - the Arcade Fire
