Progressive Rock Tribute ‘Rewiring Genesis’ Reimagines ‘The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway’

‘Rewiring Genesis – A Tribute To The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway’ is out now, marking 50 years of the Genesis classic with a bold reimagining from Nick D’Virgilio and Mark Hornsby. Originally released in 2008 and long out of print, this expanded edition features new recordings, including contributions from Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett and strings tracked at Abbey Road Studios in London.

A standout moment arrives with “Counting Out Time,” which adds fresh texture while honoring the spirit of the original. Nick D’Virgilio shares, “’Counting Out Time’ is one of my favorite songs on The Lamb… As we were recording, one of the guys… suggested we try a ‘second-line’ groove for the bridge, and it totally worked! I love that part.” The performance carries energy and playful precision.

This tribute revisits the full scope of ‘The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway’ across two discs, balancing reverence with inventive arrangement. The result feels expansive and celebratory, grounded in musicianship and studio craft. It is a fitting homage to one of progressive rock’s defining statements.
