1001 Albums Summary

Loved this album. Loved being introduced to Paul Simon and then following his journey through music. Will need to listen again as I know the lyrics deserve more attention. Perfect alt folkey rock genre with the 60's psychadelic dreamy influence and hints of other genres too. A real 'raw' musician with loads of fun sounds. You can tell he could create beautiful sound from not very much - hence a timeless classic that will hold up across the ages for capturing the unique creativity of music from it's point in time.

Good musician - enjoyed how instruments really get a spotlight. Piano, violin and a choir was cool. His voice is great. Didn't pay too much attention to lyrics. Found it started sounding 'samey' by the end. Lots of slow ballad parts then belting passionate parts which started melding together into one long song instead of an album.

Really nice to listen to a whole album of his. Really adds a romantic lense to life. Poetic, moving, passionate and talented whilst excelling at both the hype and chill end of jazz, funk and soul. Can't believe he died age 26 before sitting on the dock of the bay got released!
