Editorial Reviews

Product description

16 songs

Amazon.com

Peter Gabriel has never been one to stand on tradition. The former Genesis singer bends and hammers fashionable pop forms to his liking (à la his massive MTV-fueled hit "Sledgehammer") or uses the obligatory soundtrack assignment to explore the world music that has been his obsession for decades (as in "Zaar" from Passion). This 16-track anthology explores the width--and, crucially, depth--of Gabriel's rich post-Genesis music, from the post-prog obliquities of "Solsbury Hill" and "Here Comes the Flood" to the African musical and political concerns of the title track (available only on this collection) and the epic "Biko." But what makes the compilation even more compelling is the way it eschews the chronology of its decade-plus body of music, instead weaving and segueing Gabriel's music into a tapestry of compelling mood and color. It's a rewarding listening experience for fan and novice alike. --Jerry McCulley

I ended up getting this used, "like new". It came fast and in great condition. No complaints. A lot of great songs on this one, nice addition to my music collection.

Love the hit songs
Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2013
I readily admit to being an 'old school' music fan - I prefer albums (is a CD still called an album?) to singles, and so I typically avoid compilations. You won't find many "Greatest Hits" in my collection. "Shaking the Tree" is one of my few exceptions to that rule. Well it's not exactly a rule, more like a guideline really.

Several of the tracks are different than the original album versions, either edited or re-mixed, including "Here Comes the Flood" and the title track. 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. Sometimes sharp, almost bitter tales of isolation and alienation (Family Snapshot, Don't Give Up) are counter-balanced with tongue-in-cheek humor (Sledgehammer, Big Time).

"Shaking the Tree" has a favored spot in my extensive commute-time rotation.

Love this guys music
Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2008
I wouldn't pretend to be a music critic or even a Peter Gabriel affectionado. I bought the CD entirely because of one song: Biko. To me, this is the ultimate statement by any artist ever of what being an artist is all about. And, above all else, it's about caring what happens in the world. Nothing I have ever read, seen or heard expresses that caring more eloquently or more powerfully than Biko. I'm almost ashamed to say I haven't even listened to any of the other songs on the CD (though, like most casual listeners, I am at least marginally familar with his work). I owe it to his artistry to listen to the rest of the CD; and I will some day. Just not yet.
