Paul Simon - Surprise!
 

Paul Simon, as always, a gentle spirit, drifting you away on a lullaby of honest stories about simple people living simple lives. Just a man, singing his songs, strumming his guitar.

And I see a pattern here, how he stays fresh, how he keeps exploring new pathways. Back awhile when he brought in the traditional African musicians as a backing band, they layed down a rhythmically dense blanket of accompaniment under his songs. Today, he does the same, in a new way.

None other than Brian Eno and Andy Smith craft a mesmerizing, almost eletronica-esque background layer, built from the finest materials, such as Steve Gadd (!!!) on drums and Bill Frisell on guitar. Goddamn, folks, what more could you ask for?

This album, I can't find the words for it. What I've said here, just ignore it, and listen for yourself...buy this album. He's done it again.

Thanks for the tip!
I'll look for it.
