Peter Gabriel’s career has traveled through a variety of musical signposts, from prog-rock radical to international pop superstar to world-beat activist. On his latest project, Scratch My Back, Gabriel brings his personal style and sonic imagination to twelve favorite songs that he performs with solely orchestral instruments and voice. The album is the first part of a series of “song exchanges” in which Gabriel and other leading artists reinterpret each other’s music. The project is the first of its kind, and a collaboration of sorts. All the artists whose songs Gabriel has recorded here are returning the favor by each recording a song of his. The fruits of this exchange will be heard on a forthcoming companion volume, I'll Scratch Yours.
