Graceland

A fairly okay album. It was nice to hear You Can Call Me Al, a song I've heard plenty as a kid but never knew the name of. The African inspirations can be heard in the background vocals and percussion, and unfortunately that is the most entertaining part. The vocals were drab and did not fit the tone of the music, especially Gumboots. I was bored while listening to the album, little hooked me, nothing was added to my "Liked Songs."
