...is starting to take form! Apparently Peter Gabriel's album of covers is due out this spring and will be primarily acoustic. The first hint of anything came at WOMAD where they debuted Paul Simon's "Boy in the Bubble." This made me think of you Pam! Hopefully he'll throw some tour dates in the mix too!
Edit:
Don't know if this will be on the album, but PG recorded a cover of Vampire Weekend's "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa."

| That sounds really intersting. Boy in the bubble is one of my all-time favorite songs. Graceland is such a wonderful album... |

| I prefer his work on the 5 Simon and Garfunkel albums, but his solo stuff is damn good too. Graceland might be his best work post Bridge Over Troubled Waters. |

| So I've listened to about half the tracks online and I love it! "Listening Wind" is the perfect companion to "San Jacinto." I can't wait to get the hard copy next week! |

I'm not a particularly big fan of Peter Gabriel. I am, however, a fan of Paul Simon. And "The Boy in the Bubble" is one of my all-time favorite songs.
This cover version is amazing. Not what I expected...but really, really great.
They're both geniuses, for sure... |

I'm fond of most of Regina Spektor's stuff. I'm interested to see what PG song she chooses to cover. |

| I'm seeing quite a few lackluster to negative reviews of the album. Maybe I'm missing something, but I've listened to almost all of it now, and find it quite enjoyable. Very intimate and personal. It's a great record and I look forward to the other artists covering PG. |
