Peter Gabriel On Track : Every Album, Every Song Paperback / softback
by Graeme Scarfe
Part of the On Track series
Paperback / softback
Description
IIf Genesis, according to British comedian and fan Al Murray 'were the progressive rock band who progressed', then Peter Gabriel as a solo artist would be the member that progressed the most.
Who would have thought that listening to early Genesis would eventually take the listener to Senegal, Armenia, South Africa and beyond, via the artistic endeavours of their former vocalist? This is a journey through Peter Gabriel's solo albums, his live recordings and soundtrack compositions.
During his forty-year plus solo career, Gabriel has become a worldwide pop star via his early, self-titled albums and his seminal 1986 record So.
He has had hit singles throughout his career, including the bucolic 'Solsbury Hill' in 1977 and the poignant 'Don't Give Up'.
He also helped pioneer video creativity with the song 'Sledgehammer'.
In doing so, he has reached beyond his progressive rock origins to achieve a level of popularity and respect that other musicians from that genre could only dream about.
You may have heard many of these songs before, but there's always something new to be found by digging in the dirt.
This is the perfect guide to his music for new listeners and long-term fans alike. What on earth is going on? In the words of the Burgermiester: 'I...will...find...out.'
