Peter Gabriel
Shaking The Tree
A great compilation from a long career.
Review Score:
(8/10)I find the tracks that are included here are wonderful representations of Gabriels' long and varied career. Although the selections shy away from some of his more eclectic pieces, every song is memorable, and his delicate singing and instrumentation on many of them are dazzling. I can sit and listen to this album for hours, especially as many of the songs have a mystical bent to their lyrics.
