Short intro

Shaking the Tree: Sixteen Golden Greats is a compilation album by the English rock musician Peter Gabriel. It was released in 1990 as Gabriel's first career retrospective, including songs from his first solo album Peter Gabriel I or Car 1977, through Passion: Music for The Last Temptation of Christ 1989. It was remastered with most of Gabriel's catalogue in 2002. Shaking The Tree was somewhat ironically called Sixteen Golden Greats. Normally people do their greatest hits, but it would be more like greatest hit for me. It gave me the chance to do another version of Here Comes The Flood. Wed done one on the first album which was a grand thing with orchestra, which I think had some beautiful textures in the verse, that I liked a lot, but the chorus ended up a little too bombastic, I think. Id done a demo prior to that with Robert Fripp, and he then did a version, which was much more like the demo on his record. Available on the album 'Shaking the Tree - 16 Golden Greats' http. Released in 1990, Shaking The Tree was a career-spanning overview of Peters solo years from that first self-titled album of 1977 up to the 1989 Passion soundtrack with a few curiosities and rarities to in album Shaking The Tree - 16 Golden Greats 1990. Peter Gabriel - Solsbury Hill. Peter Gabriel - I Don't Remember. Peter Gabriel's, entitled Shaking the Tree: Sixteen Golden Greats, arrived in December of 1990, as he was toiling away at the follow-up to his smash So, which was four years old at that point. As greatest-hits albums go, it's pretty good, containing all the hits, plus an effective re-recording of Here Comes the Flood and a good new song in the form of the title track. While the sequencing may leave something to be desired - it is neither chronological, nor as supple as a good mix tape - it does contain nearly everything a casual fan could want nothing from the second a.

Shaking the Tree is one of my few exceptions to that rule. Well it's not exactly a rule, more like a guideline really. So there is the completist challenge. More importantly, the 16 tracks give the novice Peter Gabriel listener an idea of the vast scope of his work. Covering a range of topics from personal emotions to social awareness, Gabriel uses every line to his advantage. For the veteran Gabriel fan, Shaking the Tree can give one the opportunity to become re-acquainted with his lyrical artistry
