Artist: Peter Gabriel
Song: “Sledgehammer”
Album: So (1986)
Peter Gabriel’s solo career has given us some incredible music over the years. Earlier I wrote a piece on his masterful “Shock The Monkey.” Today I’m going back to him and covering “Sledgehammer.”
“You can have a steam train, if you just lay down your tracks.”
“You can have a big dipper, goin up and down and around the bends.”
This is a fun, upbeat, quirky song with a quirkier video that had to be included in this ongoing ‘What I’m Listening To’ series.

oh man, this is a great song! I have to admit though, this is the first time I’ve heard it, but I really love it! If I’m just getting into his music, what else should I look up?

Look into the rest of the tracks on his ‘So’ album. Also check out his entire discography as a solo artist. He’s a international treasure.
Now, if you are into Progressive rock, which I am not a fan of, but I respect the genre: check into Genesis when he was the lead in the early 1970s.
Thanks for reading, and thanks for your comment. Be well, Andrew.
