Free Music Notes for You're the One
Free Music Review: Unassuming, good
Hit: 3 Stars
Personal, unambitious (when compared to something as sweeping as Graceland,) but perfectly acceptable. The African rythems are still here, but subdued, and this is at heart a tasteful folk record that should appeal to Simon's fans, but is unlikely to be listed with his best. "That's Where I Belong" starts matters off very nicely, a light, folky, content song, but gives way to "Darling Lorainne," a rambling examination of a marriage which is unrewarding at nearly 7 minutes. On the heels of this "Old" though goofy, is a lot of fun, and reminds us of how appealing Simon can be when he shows his sense of humour, and doesn't take himself too seriously, as evidenced by lines like "The first time I smoked, guess what? paranoia." Uh huh. The title track has a werid, almost funky guitar part, but the lyric does not live up to the playing here ("You're the One/ You made me cry"), and the pattern of the album is set, fine tracks alternately with nice songs that just aren't up to much. From the rest of the album, the high point is the lovely, heartbreaking "Senorita With a Necklace of Pearls," one of the most gorgeous things Simon has done in his solo carrer. Although there are just not enough moving songs on this record, overall, I like its tone in that You're the One sounds as if Simon is making the music he wants to, nothing more, nothing less. You can't get much more authentic than that.
You're the One Poster
The manner in which a superstar responds to a setback says a great deal about the artist. Some choose to conclude that the world is simply off its orbit and they're the only ones who've noticed. Others cower in semiretirement and never again climb to great heights. And another bunch go back to what brung 'em, which is the route Paul Simon has opted to take with his first outing since his misbegotten Broadway debut, Capeman. The title of this 11-song collection says it all. You're the One is as understated as they come; this time out, Simon is a singer-songwriter, not a composer. As such, You're the One is more reminiscent of initial insular post-Simon & Garfunkel LPs like There Goes Rhymin' Simon and Still Crazy After All These Years than the expansive Graceland. With no new lands to conquer, Simon has fashioned a collection whose appeal lies with its 11 crafty, catchy tunes, all of which are delivered with spirit and wit, particularly on the character-driven likes of "Pigs, Sheep and Wolves," "Darling Lorraine," and "Old." The lesson is that you don't need to make a Broadway production of life's little joys and heartaches; they fit quite nicely into a four-minute song. --Steven StolderCountry Music CDs
