Paul Simon

Just as much as I hated the pretentiousness of Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel, that much I enjoyed the light creativity of Paul Simon! Such a lovely album with good lyrics and delicious acoustic instrumentations.

I think Paul Simon is generally top tier, but not quite in full stride on this album.

bob dylan-esque with some fun guitar and lyrics. i like his storytelling in this one

Surprise hit for me

A great Paul Simon record in a line of great Paul Simon records. Highlights: "Everything Put Together Falls Apart" and "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard"

Paul Simon is one of the quintessential 20th century American songwriters. This is a classic album of his that isn't Graceland. It is quite good, especially for someone like me with a lesser threshold on more "softer" music (for lack of a better term, because I do enjoy that stuff up to a point). Definitely an essential for any "must listen to" music list. Almost timeless songwriting and with a style that ages better than expected.

Paul Simon's solo debut is a continuation of what makes Simon & Garfunkel great: beautiful storytelling with pleasant melodies.

Paul Simon has a great voice and his music is fulla soul

Fantastic

Not sure why, but I enjoyed this a lot more than Graceland. Maybe if I went back and listened to that again I'd give it a more favourable review. But yeah, this is good. Nice melodies, great guitar playing — just generally nice to listen to. Favourites tracks: Duncan, Peace Like a River

The Ex-Mr. Carrie Fisher packs a folksy punch. This self-titled gem is some smooth listening and a precursor of better things to come. Top tracks: "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard," "Mother and Child Reunion," "Duncan," "Run That Body Down"

--Mother and Child Reunion...Simon comes in hot with the reggae beat --Duncan...I'm a sucker for some flute. nice guitar tone --Everything Put Together Falls Apart...this is good. elegance --Run That Body Down...freaky folk. I dig this. great vocals with a few twists --Armistice Day...great guitar. great track. minimalist but the sound feels full --Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard...always thought this was fun --Peace Like a River...didn't immediately love it but the lead guitar (Hux Brown?) and Simon's voice elevate it --Papa Hobo...production on this LP is great throughout, sounds like he's singing in the same room --Hobo's Blues...a short instrumental jig --Paranoia Blues...don't believe the attitude. sax is cool at the end --Congratulations...pleasant but nothing special

I liked it more than I thought I would ngl. 7/10

Not perfect, but some sweet, lighthearted tunes (and some all time classics)

As paisagens que Paul cria e descreve em suas músicas, perfeitamente alinhadas com as cordas - com destaque especial para o violão - foram o que fez o disco ser encantador para mim. Além disso, a capa linda também soma-se a esses fatores como algo positivo. Gosto muito do gênero folk e álbuns como esses me incentivam a ouvir. Todavia, não acho que seja algo que eu vá voltar a escutar com frequência. 75/100 (3 estrelas e meia)

Not bad. Why so many songs about hobos? Liked the Julio song though, I love old songs with gay vibes. Overall the album grew on me on second listen.

It's funny to me that there will be an artist I like, even being completely in love with a specific album, and yet I've never listened to their body of work aside from singles or the aforementioned favorite album. Paul Simon is one of those artists for me. I know the hits, both solo and with Art Garfunkel, and Graceland is easily in my top 50 albums of all time. Somehow I've never given another album of his a chance. I am a fool.

Some classic songs here. I always heard Paul Simon was talented.

Solid and listenable. Other than Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard there aren't major hits, but it was a nice relaxing album with good storytelling and melodies. As expected from Paul Simon.

Shows off Paul's range and artistry, and I like his exploration of world music styles. Not all of it is great, but he definitely belongs on this list.

Rock chill

I love Simon & Garfunkel which then means I love Paul Simon.

Was good. Could have used more Garfunkel.

Really solid album. Much of it is reminiscent of the wonderful folk of S&G, but with plenty of hints of what was to come from his more experimental solo stuff later. 7/10

Deberían haber visto el momento en el que mi novio me dijo que él es el Simon de Simon and Garfunkel

I generally like Paul Simon’s songs, so I enjoyed this album. The backup singing production on “Duncan” dates it a bit, but I enjoyed this album. “Duncan” has some fun lyrics. “Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard ” is a fun listen for me. I liked “Peace Like a River” and “Paranoia Blues.” Paul has some lyric writing skills. It was refreshing to listen to songs that didn’t go on for 10+ minutes.

I don't believe I've ever heard a Paul Simon record I didn't enjoy. Some are more lasting than others. This is a well-done record that he worked hard on so he could emerge from the "typecast" he'd been cast in. It is a really good record that has stood the test of time.

no lhe escoltat encara

Good solid stuff

A solid folk rock album. Nothing mindblowing, but not bad at all. 4/5

likeeeee

impeccably chill, really nice folk stuff and pretty peak vocals. probably not my choice of chill folk (nick drake clears) but it had a nice mix of it. Best song - Duncan/everything put together falls apart

4.1

I don't think anyone ever accused of Paul Simon of having a formula and sticking to it. Many diverse musical influences in the album and when it hits it does hit well. Possibly not his strongest album but a good listen.

hi girlie

Сара 3.5 Марко 4.5

It's a nice relaxing folk album at heart, with some diverse sounds placed in and around the album. It has some really sweet lyrics and melodies that are really catchy. Paul Simon's voice is really lovely. I think I've come to a conclusion with this album, in that I like Paul Simon and just do not like the Garfunkel part of Simon & Garfunkel. This was a hell of a lot more tolerable than Bookends and Bridge Over Troubled Water (I know controversial.) I haven't listened to his other stuff but I don't reckon it would be too bad. Good album, doesn't overstay it's welcome. Highlight Song/s: "Mother and Child Reunion" and "Paranoia Blues"

Не слухав особливо Саймона, мені здається лише Graceland доводилося. Є дуже хороші пісні, як Run That Body Down, сильно сподобалась. Та й взагалі просто приємно слухати альбом.

Як фанбой Пола Саймона я сміливо ставлю цьому альбому 4, хоча це далеко не мій улюблений його реліз.

High four stars. I really like Paul Simon. This album has some all-timers (Mother and Child Reunion, Me and Julio) and some really strong early solo work.

Paul Simon makes it possible you listen to music styles you don't like but you like the songs he makes...son of a bitch...

Great record, reminds me of my parents.

For as often as I heard "Mother and Child Reunion" on the local radio growing up, I'd've assumed it'd have WAY more Spotify streams. But that's not the point. Well it kinda is. But the other point is that it's a solid album, with some great highs and few lows. Some of the songs just kinda come and go without much additional thought, but none of it is below average.

Paul Simon always has great vocals and good instrumentals, but probably not may favorite of his albums

Not quite the heights of Graceland but Mother and Child Reunion is quite a start. Me and Julio is a classic and everything in between holds up pretty well too, although the second half loses some of the musical inventiveness of some of the other songs.

I'm a much bigger Simon and Garfunkel fan than a Paul Simon solo fan and this album flittered into some bits which felt quite s&g-ish... Which I really enjoyed, but then there was also a kind of reggae opener and a few other more experimental stuff which didn't really work for me. Paul Simon's lyrics are always well thought out, though sometimes they get a bit "on the nose" and I heard a number of examples that felt like that here. His guitar playing is sublime and you can tell he's generally great at song writing... And then me and Julio comes on, which is glorious. This is a nice 4.

pretty pleasant

A warm hug on a Wednesday morning to reassure you before the beginning of a work day. I’ve listened much more to Paul Simon’s Graceland and The Rhythm of Saints, the only song I knew from his self-titled album was Me and Julio. But it’s still great. The reggae influences, the flute sections, the slow carefree tempo of Run that Body Down, the country/rock mix of Armistice Day with its excellent guitar…expectations met.

I am not at all familiar with Paul Simon's solo work beyond having Hearts and Bones generated pretty early in this project. Hearts and Bones had a bit too much cheesy 80s production and sound to it as well as one of the worst songs I've ever heard in Cars are Cars. However, his self-titled album I enjoyed quite a bit. It felt like a lot of Simon & Garfunkel stuff, but with a wider range of influences and he's experimenting with more genres. In particular, I really wasn't expecting the reggae bits.

8/10… singer - songwriter / folk / *1972

This is yet another album where I listened to it the first time, went "eh, this isn't for me," but then gave it another listen and was like "wait, isn't this really good...?" Music really depends on what type of mood I'm in when you're listening to it for me. Also the activity you're doing at the time of listening. The first time I listened, I was playing a fighting game and I was pissed off at my job. Now I'm just chilling listening to this in the afternoon while I plan to go to the store to get stuff for dinner. If it was a slightly rainy day out, it'd be perfect. I'm not one for this style of music, but this is a great album. I don't think it's memorable for me personally but I bet for a lot of people it is.

Run that body down was the only song I had already listened to. I MUST SAY THAT !!!!! the whole vibe starting from a lil reggae song then passing trough folk to get more bluesy is my goddamn shit. Loved the lyrics, found them touching and quite - sadly - relatable in some passages. Added the album to my faves.

Paul>John.......oh, sorry. Wrong messy break up.

You can see the progression away from Simon & Garfunkel from this, through Hearts and Bones, to Graceland. I liked it.

Toute nouvelle perception de Paul Simon que je connaissais qu’à travers le duo. Un album presque country par moments, avec quelques pépites comme Run that body down

3.5

Pretty good work by Paul Simon. The blusier stuff doesn't hit as hard as the folkier stuff, but it balances the album out nicely. The vibe is denim overalls. And a puffy coat with fur trim.

I’m still pretty new to Paul Simon’s post–Simon & Garfunkel work. I know a decent number of his songs, but he’s never been someone I go out of my way to listen to—more neutral than anything. He also wasn’t a staple in my house growing up, for reasons I can’t quite pin down—maybe my parents just weren’t fans, or maybe they felt the same kind of indifference. That said, this album was a really nice surprise: laid-back, easy to listen to, and enjoyable all the way through.

While the slower, more intimate songs really dragged this album down, I really enjoyed the eclectic mix of styles and the album as a whole.

This was my first exposure to Paul's solo career and I think it's still my favorite. It's the perfect album to rise out of Bridge Over Troubled Water and the dissolution of Simon & Garfunkel, a self-confident solo effort that plays with some really fun textures and influences. "Me and Julio Down By The Schoolyard" is one of Paul's 3 greatest songs, with or without Garfunkel. An awesome album.

Es muy bueno. Me dio vibras como de música vaquera así como de la película de vacas vaqueras y también muy tranquilo. Me gusto mucho

I really like this album :) I believe it’s called folk rock It’s a music genre blending traditional folks storytelling, poetic lyrics, and acoustic instrumentation with electric instrumentation. For me a core focus was on the storytelling through the instrumentals that’s why I like this genre a lot. Could resonate with the songs, I like songs that help me reflect more about life

Chill music. Feels nostalgic, grounded. 8/10

“Late In The Evening”, a Paul Simon song NOT on this record, is a song that reminds me of my childhood and my Mom, who was a huge fan of both S&G and solo Simon. That song, referencing his own mother listening to music in another room, reminds me of my own listening to PS, including “Late in the Evening”. I mention this to give context to Paul Simon in my life. A songwriter I've literally heard as long as I've been hearing music. My second ever concert was the Graceland tour at RCMH. I'm a fan. This is a strong record, though for me I'd have gone with There Goes Rhymin Simon, a stronger too to bottom album. But who can fuss over a record with Mother and Child Reunion, Duncan, and Me & Julio

A couple iconic songs and a couple more that should be

Beautiful one Paul “man with two first names” Simon, thank you 👍. My standouts would be Duncan and Run That Body Down.

Schön, gutes Gitarrenspiel

Is it possible that Paul Simon is an underrated lyricist/musician? He has a knack for finding the right people to work with.

Classic

A very upbeat album that spans genres. He has assists from people like Ron Carter, bringing in a distinct jazz vibe, Brazilian maestro Airto Moreira for more laid back Latin vibes and it comes through immediately.

Compared to Paul Simon's earlier work with Simon & Garfunkel, and his upcoming solo albums, this is more modest effort. But it still has all the qualities that make his music great: masterful acoustic guitar playing, imaginative flowing lyrics, and a sympathetic view of the characters he writes songs about. It's always good to spend time with a Paul Simon album.

I always go into a Paul simon album thinking it will sound a bit lame and I won’t think too much of it but I feel every time I’m pleasantly surprised. Can’t say that there was really a bad track on here, there was a good range of moods, and genre blends, the majority having a cool blues/country and folk sound worked very well with dashes of rock and reggae mixed into one or two songs. The second half of the album wasn’t quite as strong as the first but still pretty decent, my standout songs were ‘Peace like a river’ and ‘Duncan’. Overall, the album kept me entertained and was enjoyable to listen to.

Whilst not his best solo works it clearly has the makings of what he goes on to achieve later in his career

Enjoyed it, especially when it came to the acoustic guitar coming into the songs in a more powerful way. I thought it was a nice listening experience.

Superbe album, je ne connaissais Paul Simon que de "Sound of Silence" de Simon & Garfunkel, et ce deuxième album solo après leur division marque un changement de style que j'aime beaucoup, on a des moments de reggae, de violon, de bonne guitare folk.

it's 3.75 but today i'm feeling good

Pretty good!

che me re sorprendió, es muy el estilo de música que podría escuchar todo el día. Súper de confort

Great songs

Such a gifted storyteller and songwriter. Not the best Paul Simon record but still excellent. Duncan is a highlight.

Slic album

Gorgeous collection of music from Mr. Simon. Favorite track: Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard

Not my favorite Paul Simon record, but still good.

I enjoyed it a lot more that I expected. 4.5 stars

Great Album I have never heard. It had 1 song that I had heard before. But the entire album was solid gold

8 - GOOD

This is a classic Paul Simon album - very clever lyrics, a wide variety of musical styles and instrumentation, and excellent production. Only a handful of the songs are really memorable, but none of them are bad. Extra bonus points for letting Stéphane Grappelli cut loose on "Hobo's Blues."

Really enjoyed this!

Listening session: march 13th, while commuting to internship Listened to before: heard one song before Thoughts: a great folk album with fun influences from around the world. My favourite part has to be the cuica that is being used on Me And Julio Down by the Schoolyard Favourite tracks: Duncan, Run That Body Down & Me And Julio Down by the Schoolyard

alles met simon & garfunkel is automatisch goed omdat mn moeder ervan houdt

Pleasant

In my head this sits at a 4.5. It's really good; Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard almost puts it at 5 by itself, and the whole first half of the album is great. The album loses me just a little in the back half, although I still think that section is decent. Ironically, in hearing some of the added demo versions of songs like Duncan, I actually like the demos more, which makes me think slightly less of the official album version. So we're settling on a 4.

Garfunkellel egy kicsit jobb volt azért.

I thought I hated the reggae style drag of "Mother and Child Reunion" but nope, total banger. Honestly, the whole album is and the younger me would be appalled at how genuinely great I find Paul Simon to be in my crippled dotage.

I never listened closely enough to “Mother and Child Reunion” to realize it’s a reggae song. Elsewhere, Paul Simon dabbles in slide-guitar blues, foreshadowing his later fascination with so-called “world music.” At any rate, this album, his first after parting ways with Art Garfunkel, shows Simon exhibiting considerable range in his songwriting. There are some peculiarities here: “Duncan” is a lovely folk tale —with flute! — about a fisherman’s son who leaves home and loses his virginity to a woman he sees preaching “about the Pentecost” in a parking lot. “Papa Hobo” is a strange tune set in Detroit, I think (or is the protagonist trying to go to Detroit for a job in an auto plant?). A quirky but enjoyable listen.

It's very good and has some great songs. But based on Simon's overall set of work, a couple of songs just not quite up to scratch.

Vibes

I was surprised by this album, I thought it was very pleasant to listen to. Sorry Paul for saying that “You Can Call Me Al” is a dumb song. I shouldn’t have doubted you.

The guitar on this are very cool, an in-depth analysis of the text should require some time too. Overall a great album, expecially if you want to relax

Kul

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Franchement je me suis bien ambiancée je m'y attendais pas pour un artiste aux vibe blues/country !

Waowawewa vilket album!!! Första låten Duncan tog mig verkligen, älskar flöjten??? Gillar mycket panoreringen av gitarrerna i me and Julio…, och i allmänhet på typ alla låtarna. Papa hobo jättemysig kommer lyssna på sommaren, hahaha kul med det buzzande bas munspelet (googlade och verkar vara det??) Kul också att han slängt med några extra demos i slutet. Mer Paul Simon kan man väl inte få? Man känner sig glad och mysig och sådär lite lagomt skönt nostalgisk. Skön blandning av vibes. Inte något jag hade kunnat lyssna på hela tiden men helt klart otroligt! Det jag inser är att jag har lyssnat alldeles för lite på Paul Simon 8,5/10

Love this album!

Biggest two things I learned from this album is that Paul Simon is actually a beast on guitar, and that gatorade was that culturally prominent in 1972. I thought it was an 80s thing. Also these songs are great.

Like Lennon and McCartney’s early solo efforts, there’s a sense that this is missing a piece. There’s a big Garfunkel-sized hole here. Every song would be improved by his harmony vocals.

Solid

Surprise for me!! Loved it. Great guitar. 4.5

como un reggae

I like this a lot. Never would have listened to Paul Simon without this list!

v good, but simon and garfunkel were better together

WAY TO GO PAUL

A lovely Paul Simon album of mostly quiet folk songs. The lyrics are poetic and writerly. And as always, he has a beautiful voice. Two songs stand out a with a bigger, brighter energy: “Mother and Child Reunion” and “Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard.” Both are great songs, especially “Me and Julio.” That’s one of those amazing songs that absolutely everyone loves. You can change a bad day to a good one with that song.

I think my favorite reviews on this list are ones where I see an album name or cover pop up and I get brought back to some specific period of my life, where I can then share a bit about that. I didn't grow up with Paul Simon, but "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard" is a song that for me is so strongly tied to the first few years of dating my wife that I can't help but spill my anecdotes all around whenever I hear it. I swear 99% of the times that I've heard this song, it was being played by a family friend (singing and playing guitar) at a family BBQ, and at every BBQ he would bring his guitar and play this song- so it's a really strong neural connection for me. I can smell the grill, taste the hot dogs, and feel the sun on my skin. Something that I find interesting is how Paul Simon will write songs about some niche experience; like "Mother and Child Reunion" is such a unique circumstance to write a song about. Starting "Run That Body Down" with a story about him going to the doctor? Awesome. Nice album. Hard rate. Between a 3 and a 4 for me, like a 3.8. High enough for a round-up.

Usually takes me a while to warm up to new albums, but a lot of these songs were instant hits for me. I like the acoustics. Going to revisit some of the songs.

Actually pretty darn good. I liked it. Only later I realised it was Simon from Simon and Garfunkel. Its a good album and it has good tunes.

Great record. Bluesy and full of feeling. Interesting elements throughout each song, loved it.

thanks!

folk rock excellence. bet paul simon is nostalgic af.

I enjoyed the whole album, recognising Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard. The overall acoustic, singer/songwriter feel is calming and intricate. I feel that the album would work really well shuffled or played in order, I must admit I did not listen to all the lyrics so do not know what all the songs are about. My favourite song off of the album was Paranoia Blues, it really scratches a good itch in my head listening to it.

not something that I usually enjoy, but it's a really nice album!

I just had a self-titled folk-rock album (Fred Neil)yesterday! Come on, man! And this is the fourth album featuring Paul Simon I've had(after Bridge Over Troubled Water, Graceland, and Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme, in that order)! I'm only 198 albums in, man! As far as the actual album, it's a pretty good folk-rock album. I actually think that this is better than Graceland, as it showcases Simon doing what he does best. And what he does best is write relatable songs for everyday people and sing them with a lovely tenor voice. That pretty much accurately describes this album, though there is some reggae influence in the opener. In the end, it's hard to go wrong with this era of Paul Simon, and this album doesn't disappoint.

I'm in the camp that likes Paul Simon's ventures into different musical genres. Not quite Graceland, but great songs and songwriting nevertheless.

Good. Simple. A classic seaman’s album.

Graceland is great but this album has always defined Paul Simon's solo music for me, which is what a self-titled album should do.

Lágstemmd og einföld production svona oftast, fiðlan í Hobo's blues vekur mann hressilega og það er helst til mikið af slide gítar fyrir minn smekk. Mörg ljómandi góð lög og ánægjuleg hlustun, en ég fer ekki með hana í fimmu.

Interesting to listen to right after Graceland, the highs are very high with only a couple of forgettable tracks. At times I thought Simon was in the same category as Dylan, at others The Beatles. He has such a depth of musical range it's wild. Also, Mother and Child Reunion lives rent free in my head forever. Probably a 3.5 for me, but bumping.

8/10 Best songs: Me and Julio Down by the School Yard, Peace Like a River, Paranoid Blues Second Paul Simon album I've come across on this list, and I like it even more than the other. It's funny that the first time I ever came across his music was a remake? adaptation? of Me and Julio Down by the School Yard by Chk Chk Chk from the early 2000s called "Me and Giuliani Down by the School Yard (A True Story)." I like this album, it's very chill folk.

While a bit meandering at times, still an album of enjoyable folky 70s pop. Particularly enjoy the tracks featuring a more rocky, electric guitar sound like Armistice Day. Looking forward to when this list has me relisten to Graceland, which is probably the one album of Simon's that 100% deserves its spot on the roster. 7.5, maybe an 8/10.

Great folk and blues record, lyrics really hit just about every emotion. Favourite track: Run That Body Down

8/10 A solid folk album. First time I listen to Paul Simon, really enjoyed the variety in sounds used here.

I enjoyed it, and it was a good piece of folk music??? I think that it could’ve given more music though instead of other versions of songs.

Well, this was sure nice. It really grew on me -- listening to "Mother and Child Reunion," I was pretty damn skeptical. But after a full album re-listen, that seriously is the only dud on this record. My God, this dude can write a song. Not to mention, he has a beautiful voice and can play the heck out of a guitar. Paul Simon has the lyrical poeticism of Bob Dylan, without sounding like a dying cat. Total win in my book.

It is Paul Simon so of course it’s going to be good, but I definitely think he has better albums. Mother and Child Reunion is really good. I love the flute/woodwind in Duncan. No hate, but the last few songs were mid. However, overall a great listen, has the folk vibes which is always good.

A broad spectrum of enjoyable songs.

Definitely a hit and miss album. Listened to some of these a million times already and others are way out of left field.

Elite level storytelling and great music go to with it. Never bored on this one, super great.

There are some tracks here which are just flawless to me. A timeless songwriter showing why he's timeless. The mixing from Roy Halee is also some of the most judicious I've seen from him. Much to appreciate here.

luh calm album

Easy on ears, soft and pretty, very high quality production, good lyricism, good variation in tracks but kept its flow. As its my first album i'll bump it up a little but it was very enjoyable!

Not my favourite, but good enough

Needs more pan flute. No really. I don’t really have many complaints with this album. There’s a wide variety of instrumentation. The guitar playing is so good at times (see: “Armistice Day”). “Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard” makes me think of The Royal Tenenbaums, so it has that going for it, which is nice. I enjoy Paul Simon's singing. Despite all this though, I can't quite elevate it to a 5, but it's still a high 4/5.

His voice is insane. High-key better off without Garfunkel

I've known and liked Paul Simon (the artist) for a long time, with and without Garfunkel. I also saw him at his massive free concert in Central Park in New York City in 1991. But I'm generally more familiar with his radio hits and haven't really dived into his deep cuts. So I'm very curious to actually spend time with this one. Before listening to this album as part of this project, I already had 3 songs "liked" on Spotify - "Mother and Child Reunion", "Duncan", "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard". Still like those ones. After listening 3 times, I ended up "liking" 6 more songs - "Everything Put Together Falls Apart", "Run that Body Down", "Armistice Day", "Peace Like a River", "Paranoia Blues" and "Congratulations". These all grew on me - based on the lyrics and the melodies and music. They slowly pull you in. Observation on Papa Hobo: I didn't realize Gatorade was a product in 1972. I was a kid then and don't remember it even existing at that time. Who knew? Liked songs on Spotify: 9/11 Rating: 4/5

Never heard of this Paul Simon guy but he slaps. Favorites: Run That Body Down, Armistice Day, Hobo's Blues, Paranoia Blues Thoughts: I think this especially hit for me since I finished RDR2 recently and this type of music has grown on me. The twangs are hitting for me. Defintely worth a relisten.

-fun and funky -unique voice -surely not better than Graceland, but still good

Not overly listened to Paul Simon before this and this was much better than I expected. I always find it funny when someone self names an album that’s not a band. Imagine an album called Michael Colhoun 😂

I’ve always (at the risk of being thought a massive weirdo - as ever) thought that there’s a chance Paul Simon is UNDERrated as a songwriter. Maybe because he hasn’t made that many good albums - but this might honestly be my favorite. What’s not to like? Mother and Child Reunion? Good, Me and Julio? Good. Meat? Good. Hang on I thought I was Joey Tribbiani for a minute. Duncan? Good. Are thise pan pipes sort of cliched and annoying? Sure, but they’re only cliched because of the phase he went through of slapping them on all over. It’s kind of slight, but also kinda great.

Yea

album cover looks so cute 10/10 Apart from that, the songs are also cute. I like it. It feels like a quiet album, reminicising of Simon & Garfunkel obviously, but it has its own flair. song writing is great, hate demo versions i do not need to hear them leave them be.

Very pleasant listen

I found this balanced in many aspects

I already had a few favs on this album, but listening through the whole thing made me appreciate it more. It’s understated, well-produced, and very much in my lane

Quaint, whimsical album. Thank you Simon (not Garfunkel)

не знаю что там пол делал с гарфанкелом вместе, но он и один справляется

Last fall, I got really into Simon and Garfunkel’s discography, so I was happy to see this one come up. I thought I’d like it more, but it was still a delight of a listen. I can appreciate that Paul Simon was trying to differentiate himself as a solo artist from his earlier works in a duo. The songs are very distinct from each other and take on a lot of different styles.

Really good! Genuinely no super familiar with Paul Simon's stuff and I really liked it. Essentially his first widely released solo album and it's clearly consciously moving forwards from his Simon and Garfunkel stuff. Early bits of the world music stuff he would dive deeper into later. Strong lyrics and a great variety of moods in the songs.

I actually really liked this one. I kinda wish it was somewhat more lyrically deep, but it's good enough. I really liked his voice, which I wasn't expecting and I also loved the instrumentation. Excited to hear more of his stuff 4.25/5

Very enjoyable!

Great album. Songs like Duncan are excellent and memorable.

Not having been a fan of Graceland, I had low expectations going into this album, but I was actually very shocked at how fun and playful it was! Paul Simon definitely works better with the instrumentation stripped down, he eminates American Belle and Sebastian energy, in a great way. Me and Julio is a standout for a reason, would be very interested to explore the rest of his 70s catalogue after this.

I prefer Garfunkel.... (1/5) Just joking. I liked this peaceful, smooth album. This was the first album that I actually heard of before playing it in this 1001 album collection. Best songs were Mother & Child Reunion, Duncan, and Me and Julia Down by the School yard.

This is a good album. Really great songwriting and solid instrumentals. I liked this more than Graceland. Favorites were Duncan, Run that Body Down, Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard, Papa Hobo, and Paranoia Blues.

Aprendi a gostar do Simon através dessa lista, já é o terceiro álbum dele que gerei aqui, e cada um estou gostando mais do que o anterior. As composições são tão harmônicas e agradáveis, uma sonoridade reminiscente de manhãs desleixadas, acompanhado de um lirismo brincalhão e instrumentalização requintada e minimalista. A voz dele é um veludo nos ouvidos, sempre. Suas melodias são infectantes e memoráveis, infinitamente apreciáveis. Este disco fica melhor a cada rodada, muito valor de replay. Existe um pequeno ecletismo aqui, o que me agrada, mas alguns dos cortes mais Folksys não me pegam cem por cento. Assim como algumas das faixas da dupla com Garfunkel não me pegam. Mas são poucos momentos que o disco me perde, ao todo, é uma escuta bem cativante. 4.5/5

Très belle surprise qui commence par un reggae et qui continue sur de la folk très mélodieuse.

One of the greatest songwriters of all time.

Never thought that i would listen to this kind of music, but it was absolutely fine. Not my favourite, but still, enjoyed discovering classics like Me and Julio. The mood that is radiating from these songs made my day, done my cooking much enjoyable :)

Really enjoyed this, great writing and music composition and production with lots of variety.

Such a solid record, love how he explored all these different regional sound palettes within the context of folk

esse é bom, 4 estrelas

One of the more personal Paul Simon albums I've heard. Allows the guitar playing to shine a bit more too. Imaginative songwriting over some well-crafted tunes, as expected from Simon, this felt like a mix of folk with all sorts of other musical varieties sprinkled in. Somewhat indictive of what was to come for Simon's solo career.

Highlights: Paranoia Blues, Papa Hobo, Peace Like a River, Run That Body Down Kind of a weird start for this exploratory journey. Not really my style musically but I like the themes of the lyrics. I'm just not used to folk, that's all. It has to be one of those "gets better after a first listen" deals. Still, I have found a great deal of nice songs on here. Not an easy listen, it's more of a sit-down situation. At some points the album feels like just a collection of little stories backed by a bare-bones musical theme.

I’d honestly prefer to listen to this kinda folk over Bob Dylan. This album was a smooth ride with some really fun songs and experimentation in between. My favourite has gotta be Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard. Such a fun song

oiiii FAVS (top 3): mother and child reunion, me and julio down by the schoolyard, peace like a river mençoes honrosas: duncan, run that body down, papa hobo, paranoia blues, congratulations compraria o vinil: sipá gente pior q gostei é bem chills nota final: 4/5

Luv

Excellent album. Some great guitar work too. Favorite track Armistice Day

Nice tunes, relaxing, thx

This is a grab bag of styles and influences- blues, ska, jazz and folk but all formed into shape through great songwriting. Each song is a like a short story full of rich characters. Great lyrics and unerring sense of melody throughout

The political discontent feels real today

It's fine. I like some of the more jazzy vibes to it.

i’ll have to listen again, but i enjoyed some

You can hear him start to branch out from Simon & Garfunkel here, with a wider range of influences. I particularly liked 'Peace Like a River' which I had never heard before

I’d always thought of Paul Simon mainly as one half of Simon & Garfunkel, so this was my first time really listening to his solo work. I found myself unexpectedly drawn to “Peace Like a River” and “Paranoia Blues” — especially the bluesy slide guitar, which made me appreciate him as a guitarist more than I had before.

Well, I loved the composition and production of the album but due to my preference for other genres, I feel I cannot truly understand the depth of the album but it has wonderful and succulent highs and bewitching lows.

Loved a lot of songs on this one. Makes my brain zap in a good way.

Thoughtful and beautifully rendered

Mother and child reunion - 8.1/10 Duncan - 8.6/10 Everything put together falls apart - 7.9 Run that body down - 8.9/10 Armistice day - 8.7/10 Me and Julio down by the schoolyard - 9.6/10 Peace like a river Papa hobo Hobos blues Paranoia blues Congratulations

My fuckin guy

Not someone who has ever been on my radar, but I really enjoyed this. 3.5

Muy bueno, nunca lo hubiese escuchado por voluntad propia, me sorprendió que aparezcan zampoñas y quenas en el segundo tema. Me gustó. Seguramente lo vuelva a escuchar.

Superb lyrics, music that matches, and timeless hits. What more could you ask for

Greta album. Can tell his writing was political and mentioning problems he wanted to address. Loved it!

Pleasant folk album, nice acoustic guitar and vocals

Pretty cool. I liked Me and Julio, of course, and Stephane Grappelli is always cool. I liked some of the Blues inspired songs. Solid album. Favorite Track: Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard

Enjoyed this, would listen again for sure.

I love this classic record.

cant believe ive not heard this album before, wow peace like a river. yeah gorgeous love it

8/10

Paul Simon's work has never resonated with me. I have no idea why. Clearly the man has talent being considered one of pop's greatest composers. But he does very little for me. That being said, this album is fucking great! Beautiful and personal, it deserves the praise.

Absolute joy of an album!

Didn't know Paul Simon had a solo career after Simon and Garfunkel, was very good!

Eras el bueno, Paul?

Most enjoyable Paul Simon album I've heard! I might be converted

Melodia cativante

One of the great songwriters and singers, displaying that he didn't need Art to make his art. This is the sound of my early childhood and is steeped in sepia tones in my memory. Not every song holds up solidly through the passage of time, but the ones that do shine brightly.

Although I am a big fan of Paul Simon, I had not heard this album through. Very relaxing and the two singles show a talent at adapting world music that would only improve throughout his solo career. I’m giving it a 4 but am sure it will grow to be a 5 with further listens.

I think I'm finally starting to get the Paul Simon hype, he's pretty amazing. I think I liked the stuff with Garfunkel more, but this was a really solid album. It is kinda a lot like the Simon & Garfunkel stuff, you can tell he wrote most of that stuff I just think his material was better there. Favorites: Run That Body Down, Peace Like a River, Paranoia Blues

This one surprised me and I don't know why. I put it off for a few hours until it hit me. Amazing singer songwriter stuff, I don't know why I wasn't expecting this to be good. 9/10

The real question is who will have more solo albums on the list between Simon and Garfunkel?… smart money is on Simon.

Run that bOdy down SLAYED

I enjoyed the creative melodies and chord progressions and instrumentation throughout. Incredible guitar work, and many genres encapsulated into this folk and story-telling album. I can see myself repeat listening to several of these tracks.

Dialed back but dialed in. Blue(s). Silver spoons. Plumes of steam. Blankets of snow.

mellow and emotional and silly and fun

Lovely LP

Classic Paul Simon

Can’t believe I’ve never listened to this whole album. Not AS good as his other but still it’s Paul Simon.

141225 10:15 4 / highlights: me and julio down by the schoolyard, run that body down, mother and child reunion

Okay.

Another one I liked more than expected. Simon is a great guitarist and a poignant lyricist, albeit prone to smugness. I was initially put off by the white boy reggae style of the first track, but there are definitely worse examples. A low 4

Favorite track(s): Mother and Child Reunion, Armistice Day, Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard

This is kind of like Bob Dylan made good music (I'm just kidding, I like Bob Dylan!!). But seriously, Paul Simon is probably one of my favorite artists ever. Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard reminds me of my dad, in the best way possible.

One of the best songwriters ever. And he can sing.

love!

I’ve really been surprised by how hit-or-miss Simon & Garfunkel / Paul Simon albums have been for me. This one was a hit. I wasn’t fully on board with the first track, but Duncan came on and sounded familiar - I’d Shazammed it somewhere (a show or movie, maybe?), forgotten about it, but somehow I really love it. I’m a total sucker for that Andean panpipe thing it’s got going on (see also El Condor Pasa). From Duncan on, most everything was very good. I felt that the quality (or at least, my enjoyment) came close to Bridge Over Troubled Water, my favorite S&G album. I remember feeling pretty disappointed in “Graceland;” liking this made me wonder if I should revisit it. Favorites: Duncan, Run That Body Down, Armistice Day, Peace Like A River

Álbum bom da peste, com uns instrumentais sacanas de bom

This guys pretty good he should join a band or something

hobo’s blues was awesome !!! also “hobo” mention so that’s extra awesome

better than garfunkle???????????????????

Fine I’ll say it, I like Paul Simon

Cozy vibes

Very good album. Strong songs, he’s a good songwriter worth listens.

Self named lol

Really liked this album tbh

Paul Simon's 1972 self-titled album presents a confident and wonderfully diverse collection of songs. Though undeniably low-key and relaxed, the album is also fun. The record's enduring appeal rests on its standouts: "Mother and Child Reunion", an infectious track infused with reggae and recorded with Jimmy Cliff's band, and the truly sublime "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard", a playful, samba-rhythm pop song that epitomizes light-hearted fun. What did the "Mama and Papa" see? But the album runs deeper than its hits. I especially appreciate the blues-drenched "Peace Like a River", anchored by truly wonderful acoustic guitar work. The track "Duncan", a beautifully crafted acoustic tale of a fisherman's son traveling Canada, and the album’s beautiful, sarcastically titled closing statement, "Congratulations", are equally brilliant deep cuts. Visually, the iconic portrait photograph by Edie Baskin is a perfect complement. The masterful framing and muted colours brilliantly capture the album's intimate and reflective contents. Packed with essential songs, "Paul Simon" remains a very good to great album. Four stars. Side one 1 "Mother and Child Reunion" (5/5) 2 "Duncan" (5/5) 3 "Everything Put Together Falls Apart" (3/5) 4 "Run That Body Down" (4/5) 5 "Armistice Day" (3/5) Side two 6 "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard" (5/5) 7 "Peace Like a River" (5/5) 8 "Papa Hobo" (4/5) 9 "Hobo's Blues" (4/5) 10 "Paranoia Blues" (4/5) 11 "Congratulations" (5/5) Total - 47 Average - 4.27 178/1001 97/178 albums reviewed were new to me.

Unpopular opinion, but I liked this album way more than Graceland. Very emotional and heartfelt album that still manages to be fun the whole way through. Favorite Songs: Peace Like a River, Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard

On erittäin hyvää laulamista ja kerrontaa. Kantaaottavuutta mutta maulla. Tämän ajan artisteja ei vaan ole enää.

I’ve never thought the two Pauls sounded alike before but some of this reminded me of Ram-era McCartney, That’s a compliment by the way (as is the fact that while I liked this, I prefer Graceland - how many 60s artists made their best album in the 80s? It might be just Paul Simon and Leonard Cohen.)

Overall Rating - 3.95/5 (7.91/10). Good introduction to Paul Simon's solo work.

Good folky album would listen to more paul

This was a good listen, lots of genres while not feeling like a jarring mix. Thanks Paul Only knew me and Julio before. Thought it was Julia. Clearly didn't know it very well Songs added to playlist: - Duncan - Run That Body Down - Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard - Paranoia Blues (unreleased version)

Don't know this album off hand but love Paul Simon. Ok jumping right into a bopping reggae beat. Kinda sleepy after that, multiple songs about Hobos. But "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard" instantly pushes this up a star. What a banger. Would listen again. 3.9/5

Paul Simon the man that you are. Short king legend and amazing songwriter. He may not have been dunkin’ on the court, but Duncan he did, and it’s so good! “Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard” genuinely never grows old, that light guitar and cuica combo is unmatched. Might be close to a 5 for me if it didn’t have to compete with Bridge Over Troubled Water, Bookends, and Graceland. Favorite Tracks: Mother and Child Reunion, Duncan, Armistice Day, Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard, Congratulations

This was a great listen. I already had a couple of songs in playlists. For me, not quite a 5, but would happily listen again.

At their best, the songs on this album stand up with the best of Simon and Garfunkel's work, but at their worst they don't even approach Simon and Garfunkel's filler. Not sure what's the deal with that, since Garfunkel didn't even write the songs? I guess maybe Simon needed a quality control guy?

Paul Simon is always good, but this first solo album doesn't hold up against Simon & Garfunkel or his later solo work. Good but not great.

- O instrumental é leve e delicioso de se ouvir e um dos grandes pontos fortes do álbum na minha opinião. A flauta em Duncan é uma das coisas mais lindas que já ouvi. - A voz de Paul Simon é extremamente confortável de se ouvir. Tem um tipo de profundidade pela rouquidão que, atrelado a maciez da sua voz, faz com quê mesmo com o menor dos instrumentais, a música soe perfeita. Realmente, quem tem gogô sustenta. - Mesmo em um estilo como folk, Paul viajou pelos diferentes tipos de sonoridades. Enquanto antes sentia estar sentada a uma fogueira calmamente ouvindo ao violão, o impacto que tive ao estar ouvindo e do nada sentir que entrei em um saloon antigo quando Hobo's Blues começou foi um testamento a sua habilidade musical. Faixa Favorita: Duncan

Really liked the upbeat bluesy folk. Haven’t heard much of Paul Simon’s stuff outside Simon and Garfunkel.

This was nice! A more intimate entry with hints at Paul's fondness for world music that would manifest more strongly later. This feels like a "close" album.

Such a delightful songwriter. Hard to have a bad time with him. 8/10

I quite enjoyed this. Quite a few different styles used with some quite catchy tunes and lyrics

Nice

Good interesting songs

Some classics.

Melancólico

Yes waiter I would like some Simon and Garfunkel, hold the Garfunkel

A great album by one of the best song writers ever. This was fun to listen to and who doesn't enjoy Julio down by the school yard!

Добротный, приятный альбом со спокойной, доброй музыкой. 7 из 10.

Álbum muito agradável. Arranjos e vocais no ponto! QoA Adonis New.

Man kan aldri slå helt feil med Paul Simon, det gjør man ikke her heller! Et knallgodt album med veldig kul produksjon. Han har skrevet bedre låter andre steder så derfor når den ikke helt opp til femmeren.

Calming

Paul Simon's first record following the break-up of Simon & Garfunkel was definitive proof on who the genius behind the popular 60s duo was. Where Garfunkel had to rely on other people's hits to remain relevant as a solo artist [relevance that faded very quickly despite initial success], Simon continued to craft sensitive and eclectic folk/pop songs that would bring much critical and commercial success throughout the 1970s. His self-titled 1972 effort is the first of his epic solo run, and through classic hits such as 'Mother and Son Reunion', 'Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard' and 'Duncan', Simon essentially picked up where he left off at the end of Simon & Garfunkel, albeit with greater emphasis on his unique musicianship. Alongside Cat Stevens, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young and James Taylor, Paul Simon was one of the prominent voices in folk music at the turn of the 1970s, and while he was no longer crafting those sweet harmonies with Art Garfunkel, what replaced it was a well-rounded musician really coming into his own as a songwriter, and his career continued to prosper into the 1980s, culminating in the worldly masterpieces 'Graceland' and 'The Rhythm of the Saints'. But his solo hot streak started here, and it works as an effective 'soft reboot' for Simon. Best songs: Mother and Child Reunion, Duncan, Armistice Day, Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard

I actually really liked this one. Very folksy, easy to listen to. It's clear that this album has inspired a lot of songs I've heard. Glad it was recommended.

I liked it

Graceland is better but this is good

Very cool. I like the international influences. 4/5 Highlights: Mother and Child Reunion Duncan Paranoia Blues

Paul Simon's self-titled album, Paul Simon, is a hodge podge of styles. It includes some world music on "Mother and Child Reunion" which points the way to Graceland, released 14 years later. It also includes the pop folk of "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard" which is closer to the direction Paul Simon took his music for the next 14 years. The rest of the album is fine. However, none of the other songs tickle my fancy.

I enjoyed listening to the album. It's very relaxing and I appreciated the samba and blues contaminations

A really nice album with lots of different instruments like the violin, bassoon and even the flute. All these combined with some great fingerpicking I can only dream to be able to play.

I love that the demo versions were included. Those were the highlights of the album. Also I love the classic: Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard!!

I definitely have some nostalgic appreciation for Paul Simon - I don't remember if we had this album (I didn't recognize anything other than the hits) - so I was predisposed to rate this one well, but actually listening to a whole album was great. I assume we'll get Graceland too and I'm looking forward to it

Different to what I expected. High highs and some forgettable bits, but overall very good.

How is it that Paul Simon is somehow underrated in terms of the all time great songwriters? Paul’s first post duo album is a solid, if not great record. It has one of his best songs in Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard, which is almost certainly his catchiest. It’s the clear highlight on an album that doesn’t have a bad track. I’d rate a couple of other albums in his discography higher (certainly Graceland, an easy top five album of the 80s for me), but this album is a gift.

A mishmash of ideas, a few standout tracks like "Mother & Child Reunion" and "Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard" lift this up from an average album, but overall its an easy way to pass 40 odd minutes

Really enjoyable easy listening album. Guitar work in particular was brilliant. Really looking forward to a second listen

yuh

Excellent

Until a few songs in, it didn't click for me that he was the Paul Simon from Simon & Garfunkel. Realized it after thinking his voice sounded really familiar. As expected, he's got a great voice. The songs are mostly good. Duncan had some great guitar work. Run That Body Down was really nice. Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard was a lot of fun. As was Peace Like A River. Hobo's Blues had a good harmonica and guitar combo going, and the guitar work continued nicely in Paranoia Blues. Overall a good time. Best song: Duncan

- Really nice, easy-going melodic tunes that are about more complicated emotions and human experiences, which is definitely my jam. - I’d only ever heard Me and Julio from this album, somehow, but I think I’ll listen to it a lot more, though, I will probably skip a couple tracks.

Very good.

Good stuff

What a fantastic album that start with the reggae influenced Mother and Chile Reunion. It a melting pot of Folk, Reggae, Soul, Jazz and Pop. Beautifully structured with songwriting you would expect from one of the better songwriters out there. In my opinion it opens and finishes with the 2 best tracks. Congratulations is just perfect. I think I would like to own this record. 4.5 Stars

This album was definitely better than Heart and Bone, but after Papa Hobo it starts to get a little boring. Run That Body Down, Me and Julio, and Peace Like a River were the highlights for me. I was about to give it three stars, but I’m giving it one more because I’m a sucker for well placed whistle solos.

I did not realize Paul Simon was so world influenced from his initial debut album. Really beautiful and interesting songs and arrangements. Sorry Garfunkel.

Solid album. Enjoyed most of it. Standout songs: Duncan Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard Peace like a river

Me and Juliooooooo, absolute banger. A few more highlights during the album, it loses my interest a bit in the end.

Paul Simon is always great. Enjoyed this one.

Lovely album, knew one song but really enjoyed the rest, all had a similar feel but different vibe by the song. Not a perfect album as I had moments where I slipped away, but otherwise really enjoyed most songs on the album.

Before going through these albums I had heard about but never really listened to Simon and/or Garfunkwl. This is now my second Paul Simon album and I have also listened through a Simon and Garfunkel album. This album isn't as good as Graceland but better than Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme, the Simon and Garfunkel album I have gotten so far. While I don't love all the songs the album as a whole is great to listen through and many of them I want to go back and listen to again.

Another album where the only track I knew was because Scott Klopfenstein (ex member of ska band Reel Big Fish) covers it on his Twitch livestreams (Me and Julio Down By The Schoolyard). If I had a nickel for every time that's happened blah, blah, blah... I really enjoyed this album. It was another where I played it through once, then immediately looped round and started again. I even, and this is almost unheard of, voluntarily listened to the bonus tracks. My favourite tracks were Me and Julio, Everything Put Together Falls Apart, Hobo's Blues and Paranoia Blues. I'm not sure why the guy chose to put two songs called [blank] Blues on his album, and sequence them one after the other, but it shows a certain level of confidence. My only negatives were that I swear he slips slightly into a fake Jamaican accent briefly on Mother and Child Reunion - just because it's reggae tinged Paul, doesn't mean you should be mimicking the accent - and a personal dislike of the flute on Duncan. I did genuinely really enjoy this album though. I think this would be another 3.5 in a world of half stars (I think there's better Paul Simon to come), but I'm rounding up: 4/5

This was such a good album. Very similar in some ways to McCartney, and Plastic Ono Band - these first solo albums after a very historic group. So cool to see for each of these the direction they went in.

I really like Paul Simon. Just beautiful song writing all around. Need me his jacket.

Some nice tunes on this. Nothing that’ll end the world, but just… nice stuff. It’s a nice album. Well done Paul, you’re out on your solo career. Nice. 4.0/5.0 Best Song: Peace Like A River

I already know and love multiple songs on this album so it was great to listen to the whole thing.

Simon and Garfunkel getting rid of the Garfunkel was one of the greatest upgrades in the history of music

Gick in med väldigt höga förväntningar. Älskar me and julio..sen tidigare. Tror nog jag blev lite besviken. Inte att det är dåligt, på något sätt..mer än att det inte kändes "oumph". Jag väljer dock att fria framför att fälla, så det blir en fyra. Rätt säker på att skivan skulle växa till sig med ännu flera lyssningar. Det är ett sound jag gillar. Den klassiska gitarren och rösten är mycket behaglig.

Jäkla fin skiva detta, verkligen kvalitet rakt igenom och några riktiga höjdpunkter i Mother and child reunion (kul och riktigt bra med reggaen), Duncan, Run that body down och förstås Me and Julio. Lite svagare mot slutet, men ändå en klar fyra.

a bit uneven but beloved

Fav: Peace Like A River Least Fav: Duncan Art has Bright Eyes but with this album alone I’m thinking Paul Simon > Art Garfunkel

Is this violin … Grapelli? It IS Grapelli! Upped from 3 to 4 stars.

muuuuy chulas las canciones como que parecen de distinto estilo aunque sea del mismo, tipo folk pop y rock. me ha transmitido muy buen rollo.
