44.6+7 Renjeaux Listens to Mercy Street+Big Time, from Peter Gabriel - So

Our 44th cool album is "So," Peter Gabriel's fifth solo album. Released in 1986, this record made Gabriel a worldwide superstar. It is also a really good album.

In this episode, we go on an emotional rollercoaster ride with track 6, "Mercy Street," a quiet, haunting ballad inspired by Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Anne Sexton's recurring dreams about trying to find her grandmother's house. Then we totally switch gears with track 7's "Big Time," Gabriel's funnest jam ever. Well, at least we think so!
