Peter Gabriel - Scratch My Back (CD)

Facts 2010 album from the Rock icon, a collection of beautifully performed cover versions. Gabriel describes this as a very personal record with 12 songs performed only with orchestral instruments and voice. He made the choice not to include guitar or drums. The album's richly diverse sounds include the sparse romance of Lou Reed's 'The Power of the Heart', the powerful musical journey of Elbow's 'Mirrorball' and an epic arrangement of Arcade Fire's 'My Body Is a Cage.'
