Here is the synopsis for Peter Gabriel’s new album “Live Blood”:

Dispensing with the usual rock armory of guitars and drums, Peter Gabriel and the 46-piece New Blood Orchestra reimagine some of Peter’s best-known songs with breathtaking orchestral arrangements that include “In Your Eyes,” “Red Rain,” “Rhythm of the Heat” and “Biko,” which was written in honor of the activist Stephen Biko.

In addition, there are interpretations of Paul Simon’s “The Boy in the Bubble” and Lou Reed’s “The Power of the Heart”. Gabriel is a renowned live performer whose on-stage charisma and instantly recognizable voice combine brilliantly with the orchestral sound palette to breathe a new sense of wonder into familiar songs.

A distinguished singer, musician and songwriter, Gabriel rose to fame as the lead vocalist and flautist of the progressive rock group Genesis before embarking on a successful solo career. Recently, he has focused on producing and promoting world music as well as pioneering digital distribution methods for music. In 2007, he was honored at the 57th annual BMI London Awards for his “influence on generations of music makers”. He was also inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Genesis in 2010.
