For too many years this album was a buried treasure in the Paul Simon back catalogue. Danny Neill takes us on a journey back to 1965 to explore ‘The Paul Simon Songbook’. An innovator always in pursuit of new sounds…An LP recorded in a single day…it was a big deal.
While it’s an interesting collection of choices, it’s a stunning piece of work from an artist who may be putting his travelling shows away but, at 76, remains at the peak of his creative and musical powers.
Ale Möller’s live performance at this year’s Polar Music Prize was a huge success. Watch him performing his own composition ‘Polardance’ and find out about his new album ARGAI.
