Our Take

Peter Gabriel's "Shaking The Tree - 16 Golden Greats" is a musical journey through the eclectic, enigmatic mind of one of rock's true visionaries. From the haunting melodies of "Solsbury Hill" to the infectious grooves of "Sledgehammer," Gabriel's ability to blend genres and emotions is on full display here.

The album kicks off with the iconic title track, a pulsating anthem that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Gabriel's unmistakable voice soars over a bed of shimmering synths and driving percussion, creating a sense of urgency and excitement that carries through each track.

Tracks like "Steam" and "Don't Give Up" showcase Gabriel's gift for storytelling, weaving intricate narratives with ease and emotion. His lyrics are poignant and introspective, touching on themes of love, loss, and the human condition in a way that feels both personal and universal.

"Shaking The Tree" is a must-listen for fans of Gabriel's solo work, as well as those looking to delve into the rich tapestry of 80s rock. With its timeless melodies and thought-provoking lyrics, this album is a true gem in Gabriel's discography, and a testament to his enduring talent and creativity. So grab your headphones, press play, and let Peter Gabriel shake your tree.
