THE ALBUM OF THE DAY
PAUL SIMON...Songwriter (2011)
(CD, Allmusic review)
Paul Simon has written some of the most memorable songs in his lifetime, both as a member of Simon And Garfunkel and as a solo artist. This is quite an impressive setlist here and Simon's acoustic guitar playing is remarkable. A very nice listen
