Product Description
The music world was shocked when Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel called it a day and went their separate ways. Simon did't sit on his laurels and quickly showed the world how prolific a songwriter he is with his self named 1972 solo debut.
Simon took the opportunity to explore new musical horizons, bringing jamaican rhythms to the open track 'Mother and child reunion', scattering latin beats on 'Me and Julio Down by The Schoolyard' and a smorgasboard of instruments throughout the album. The album is vibrant but downtempo, a place of joy, and heralded the arrival of one of the greatest songwriters of the time.
