2 unusual facts about All the Ghosts


All the Ghosts

In early 2008, Herbert was commissioned by a collaborative project between Peter Gabriel and Bowers & Wilkins to record an acoustic album at Gabriel's Real World Studios.

John Fordham in The Guardian said: "This fine album... is the truest to her distinctive muse, with its debts to Janis Ian, Joni Mitchell and Tom Waits, as much as to Billie Holiday or Nina Simone....Herbert's earlier jazz following perhaps won't find many familiar landmarks... but as an idiosyncratic singer-songwriter album, All the Ghosts will be on the year-end hitlists whatever its genre".
