Free Music Review: The Beginning Of A Paul Simon Era
Hit: 5 Stars
I've been a Paul Simon fan since I was 10 years old. I first received this album when I was 12. (I have all the original albums without any of the unnecessary bonus tracks.) I didn't know then that he once sang with a guy named Arthur Garfunkel. Anyway, this solo debut album is great. I like the songs "Duncan", "Run That Body Down, "Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard", and "Congratulations" the best. "Paranoia Blues" is kind of a funny song. I'd say that thanks to this album, Paul got off to a good start on his solo career.
Paul Simon Poster
How does one follow a commercial smash on the scale of Bridge over Troubled Water, one of the blockbuster pop titles of the '60s? For Paul Simon, the strategy was simple--as in "Keep it simple." His 1972 solo debut is the bantam bookend to the expansive Bridge. Where the final Simon & Garfunkel LP was grand, Paul Simon is modest. Where Bridge served up lavish emotions, on his own Simon explored a kind of hooded, pensive melancholy. "Mother & Child Reunion," the first reggae arrangements many Americans ever heard, opens the album and casts a blue hue over the collection. An eclectic crew of players (including jazzmen Stephane Grappelli, Jerry Hahn, and Ron Carter) turn up in tunes that fit together as snugly as a winter wardrobe. By the time Larry Knechtel's electric piano fades away at the end of "Congratulations," Paul Simon, solo artist, has put that Bridge behind him and set off on his solo career. --Steven StolderLimited Edition Japanese pressing of this album comes housed in a miniature LP sleeve.
