After a seven year hiatus, the legendary Peter Gabriel releases ‘Scratch My Back’ – a collection of classically orchestrated covers of material by acts such as Elbow, Lou Reed, Neil Young and David Bowie, amongst many other esteemed artists. Dubbed by Gabriel a “swap shop of songs” and produced by Bob Ezrin (Pink Floyd, Alice Cooper), this is a beautiful acoustic album, boasting nothing more than the accompaniment of lush strings and Gabriel’s distinctive voice. Includes unique versions of ‘Heroes’, ‘The Boy In The Bubble’ and ‘Waterloo Sunset’.
