Peter Gabriel will finally complete his Scratch My Back project, which he started in 2010.
The idea behind the project was that Gabriel would release a covers album while the artists that he covered would reciprocate, recording one of his songs for a companion piece.
And I’ll Scratch Yours, out September 23 on Real World, is as close as he could get to a completed set of swaps. Only two artists (David Bowie and Neil Young) did not reciprocate and Gabriel has added two other artists with what he is calling “uncompleted swaps” to take their place, Joseph Arthur and Feist.
Track List:
I Don’t Remember – David Byrne
Come Talk to Me – Bon Iver
Blood of Eden – Regina Spektor
Not One of Us – Stephin Merritt
