Peter Gabriel - Car album cover | |||||||||||||||
Peter Gabriel is the first album Peter Gabriel recorded after leaving the progressive rock band Genesis, and the first of four with the same eponymous title (as though each album were an issue of a magazine). Upon the album's release, Gabriel began touring with a seven-piece band under his own name.
Gabriel and producer Bob Ezrin assembled a team of talented musicians, including Robert Fripp of King Crimson, to record the album. The album's second track, "Solsbury Hill," describes Gabriel's departure from Genesis and has become one of Gabriel's more popular songs. Erasure covered the song in 2003 on Other People's Songs. After release, Peter Gabriel felt that the track "Here Comes the Flood" was over-produced and created a far simpler rendition which can be found on Robert Fripp's album, Exposure, and an even simpler version can be heared on Peter Gabriel's first greatest hits album, Shaking the Tree: Sixteen Golden Greats. The album went to #7 in UK and #38 in the USA. This album is often referred to as Car, referring to the album cover by Storm Thorgerson.
