Still Crazy After All These Years - Paul Simon

Surprise - Paul Simon

The intricate workings of a great legendary mind like Paul Simon still remains a mystery when we embark on the journey through his most recent album ‘Surprise.’ This extraordinary album must be first categorized and a myth must be dispelled. Since the incredible impact of the definitive ‘Graceland,’ way back it 1986, we have been left in limbo state, not far from the feeling of floating on a World Music trip so much to the extreme that his next three albums (Concert In The Park Live; November 1991, Songs From The Capeman; November 1997 and You‘re The One, October 2000) have quiet simply passed us by. So why was it that this album, quite ‘surprised’ us in 2006? What on ...

It was nice that the editors/producers picked some less well known songs as well as the more poular ones. This CD was so well put together that it made me go out and buy all the missing CDs from my collection! When I'm feeling in a mellow mood, and just want to put some music on to sit and listen to (or more ...

Beyond that, though, Paul Simon has a rare gift for improvising vocal lines which rarely do what you expect them to. This is not a case of 'take a chord progression and write the most obvious melody over the top of it.' The arrangements for the backing instruments are superb- delicate yet funky; not the incessant ...
