Paul Simon - The Studio Recordings 1972-2000
[2004 / CD / FLAC / Lossless / Log]
Paul Simon's nine studio albums are herein offered in expanded form, appended with previously unreleased demos and live tracks. From his emergence in the mid-1960s as the songwriting half of Simon & Garfunkel, Simon has created songs imbued with a craftsman's sense of thoughtful articulation, coupled with a vibrant curiosity for the breadth of musical possibilities to be found in non-pop genres.
This beautifully remastered set features Simon in top form--the quiet portrait "Armistice Day" positively sparkles, while the pop-smart "Kodachrome" and subsequent hits possess a true sonic wallop. Listening to Simon's output chronologically makes clear both his changing musical inclinations, as well as the core constants. The African and South American forays [as heard on Graceland and The Rhythm of the Saints, respectively] are the logical conclusions to songs that appeared over a decade prior. In addition, albums that were originally met with some bewilderment [One Trick Pony, Songs from the Capeman] can now be heard for their strengths, separated from the commercial expectations of their initial releases.
9 studio albums, remastered and expanded with 31 bonus tracks..
Personnel include: Paul Simon [vocals, guitar, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, sitar]; Pete Carr [guitar]; Vincent Nguini [electric guitar]; Stefan Grossman [bottleneck guitar]; Steve Gorn [bamboo flute]; Bobby Scott [piano]; Barry Beckett [keyboards, vibraphone]; Don Elliott [vibraphone]; Richard Davis [acoustic bass guitar]; David Hood, Bob Cranshaw [bass guitar]; Roger Hawkins, James Straud [drums]; Jamey Haddad, Steve Shehan [percussion]; José Feliciano.
