Peter Gabriel & Friends - Shadow

This album allows me to travel around the world and my favorite place in the world is in the shadows, especially when it’s 102 degrees outside. The guitars take me to the hills of Spain, through Northern Italy, and up toward the Romany region with its timeless gypsy flamenco feel. Very tasty. The shoutout tune takes us to the other side of the world to visit the marvingaye blues soul feel of living on the Big Blue Ball, “no trouble at all.” At least it seems that there's no trouble when viewing this beautiful world from the vantage point of a spaceman looking down on us.
