We won’t have to wait too much longer to get our hands on And I'll Scratch Yours, a new album that features covers of Peter Gabriel songs by artists including Arcade Fire, Bon Iver and Feist. While the release was originally slated to arrive in September, it's now set to hit stores on January 7.
The 12-track collection is a companion piece to Gabriel's 2010 studio effort, Scratch My Back, which features the legendary musician's renditions of tunes by most of the same artists who contributed tracks to And I'll Scratch Yours.
Among the songs on the new record are Arcade Fire's take on "Games Without Frontiers," Bon Iver's re-imagining of "Come Talk to Me," and Feist’s rendition of "Don't Give Up,” featuring Timber Timbre. Other artists who appear on And I'll Scratch Yours include David Byrne, Paul Simon, Brian Eno and the lateLou Reed.
And I'll Scratch Yours will be available as a single stand-alone CD, and as part of a two-disc set packaged with Scratch My Back. Digital versions of both releases also will be sold.
