It seems to me like he is contributing more to the
whole song these days ... doing a little riff or lick here and there ... more like adding a little piece the sum of it all .. rather than doing his own solo show. (I'm not sure I made myself clear though...
)
Though it could have worked if he was the
only guitarist in an all-star band!
As for collaborations, I think it would have been interesting to see him work more with non-blues artists. Also younger musicians. I liked the version of "Albatross" that he did with Chris Coco. Peter Gabriel...well, he didn't play much there, did he? How about him doing a little guitar work on the next Bowie album?
I must admit, lately I've imagined Peter singing duet with....... Emmylou Harris!!!
I wonder if he played with anybody when he was living in Sweden...? Think about him jamming with some of the GREAT pop bands there, for example "Thorleifs" or "Lasse Stefanz"
