Here is a video made by Gavin Castleton covering Peter Gabriel's hit "Sledgehammer." Gavin is an amazing artist from Portland, OR whom I am a big fan of and have had the pleasure of playing for and touring with across the country since October of last year. Check out this amazing rendition of this memorable track:

It's funny, I've never liked that song. I realize that so many recognize something about it and that era of Peter Gabriel that I did not.

However, I noticed that I really liked the version posted here. Really liked it. Two things I noticed, when the song wasn't so overdone as was, I think, the production on the original, the song has great qualities when it has the ability to breath a little.

I should also mention, in addition to all the other talents of Mr. Castleton, he has a really wonderful voice I found very compelling.

Very cool. Wish I had some of that gear, too.
...so ever since then, I always hang on to the buckle.

He is nothing short of amazing, and working with him over the years has been a dream come true in some senses. Check out his music as the link below as he is an amazing writer and musician.
