New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Many artists are returning the favor on
Peter Gabriel's follow-up album And I'll Scratch Yours .
"Rather than make a traditional covers record, I thought it would be much more fun to create a new type of project in which artists communicated with each other and swapped a song for a song, i.e. you do one of mine and I'll do one of yours, hence the title - Scratch My Back - And I'll Scratch Yours," Gabriel said on his website .
And I'll Scratch Yours is a compilation of Gabriel's songs: Arcade Fire, Bon Iver,
David Byrne, Lou Reed, Elbow, Brian Eno,
Regina Spektor, Stephin Merritt (The Magnetic Fields),
Paul Simon and Randy Newman. Joseph Arthur and
Feist were brought in to fill the places of
Radiohead and Neil Young, who were unable to record.
And I'll Scratch Yours will be out Sept. 23 via Real World . The album is also available for pre-order now.
