Free Music Review: Something So Right
Hit: 5 Stars
This latest Paul Simon collection provides a very good overview of his career, including songs from his first solo album released in 1972, up to 2000's "You're The One." As evidenced on this collection, Paul Simon's musical offerings include many genres of music. The reggae influenced "Mother And Child Reunion" starts this compilation off on a strong note. It's thirty years later, and the topical "Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard" still sounds as relevant today as when it was first released. "Loves Me Like A Rock," featuring the Dixie Hummingbirds, sounds like a traditional gospel standard, even though it was written by the prolific Paul Simon. The virtuoso drumming of Steve Gadd gives "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover" its distinctive sound, while the verse displays Paul Simon at his rhymin' best. The Latin flavored "Late In The Evening" combines semi-autobiographical lyrics with a propulsive beat, making it an irresistible dance number.1986 saw the release of the classic album "Graceland." It was the perfect blend of Paul's songwriting genius with South African music, including a few Zydeco songs thrown in for good measure. The title cut describes Paul's pilgrimage through the cradle of the Civil War to Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee. His traveling companions may be the ghosts of lost loves, but the goosebumps are provided by the sound of the shimmering pedal steel guitar. "Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes" features Ladysmith Black Mambazo to best effect, and is the perfect song to help the listener lose the walking blues. "Spirit Voices" and "The Cool, Cool River" display the Brazilian influences showcased in his 1990 album "Rhythm Of The Saints." Both "Love" and "Hurricane Eye," two outstanding cuts from the underrated "You're The One" album, close out the first disc of this collection.
What makes this collection even more desirable is the bonus disc of five, previously unreleased live songs. Both "American Tune" and "Duncan" date back to 1973, but the sound is as crisp and clear as the studio songs on the first disc. "My Little Town," Paul's top ten duet with Art Garfunkel from 1975, is tellingly left off this collection. However, the ghost of Simon and Garfunkel reappears in the last two songs. The arrangement of "Mrs. Robinson" has a country music feel to it. "Bridge Over Troubled Water" is a duet between Paul Simon and Aaron Neville, and almost sounds as good as the original version. Even if you have all of Paul Simon's previous compilations, the bonus disc makes this an essential purchase.
