Paul Simon - Songwriter
Songwriting is all about rhythms and rhymes, according to the first recipient of the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song. This two-CD set showcases both sides of the acclaimed composer’s craft, from a new version of “The Sound of Silence” to the rhythmic title track of this year’s So Beautiful or So What. Released to celebrate his 70th birthday, Simon’s personally selected 32-song collection leans heavily on selections from Graceland and its stunning followup, Rhythm of the Saints, proving his enduring love of the beat.
