Free Music Notes for Graceland
Free Music Review: Good but not classic
Hit: 3 Stars
I know I'll catch heat for this opinion but here goes. I always thought this album was very good, not great, but original in concept and execution. In my mind a great album is one of those can't live without, desert island albums. Albums that I play often over a period of many years and must have in my collection. I bought this album on vinyl when it came out and played it often for about six months maybe a year. I just bought a used copy of it recently and played it for the first time in many years. While I like the sound quailty and the unique arrangements, these songs just don't stand the test of time for me. I would give it four stars for originality, musicianship and technical sound quality but take away one star because half of the songs are just ok filler. Just my opinion. Paul Simon has made better albums than this.
Graceland Poster
The melding of South African styles and Simon's trademark sensibility made for one of the most intriguing albums--not to mention commercial hits--of the '80s. At once lively, thoughtful, gorgeous, and tough, Graceland acknowledges splits both in South Africa's social fabric and in Simon's personal life (the title track is a clear descendant of the earlier "Hearts and Bones," a song about the singer-songwriter's brief marriage to Carrie Fisher). Humor is hardly absent from the mix, though; witness the addled "I Know What I Know" and the fable-like "You Can Call Me Al." --Rickey WrightLimited Edition Japanese pressing of this album comes housed in a miniature LP sleeve. Rhino. 2006.
