Paul Simon - Original Album Series - 5 CD Set

“
When Simon & Garfunkel called it a day in 1970; Paul Simon wasted no time in establishing his (later) highly successful and respectable solo career.
Self-titled debut album - released in 1972 - is a flawless classic.featuring UK hit singles; Mother and child reunion and Me and Julio down by the school yard - not a filler or below par song in sight!
Continuing the following year with the second or sophomore album: There goes ryhmin' Simon - continues with relentless excellence - and eclectic musical styles,and interesting subject matters and observations.includes: Kodachrome and Take me to the Mardi gras.
These two albums,along with; Hearts and bones (1983),Songs from the capeman (1997) and You're the one (2000) - are included on the 'Original album classics' box set first released in 2004.
Hearts and bones - is by no means a let down,but not quite the same 'wow factor' of the previous two albums.one track to highlight is: The late great Johnny ace - a Wonderful tribute to John Lennon.
Fourth album: songs from the caveman - is Paul Simon's most socially/politically observed l.p. release to date (1997).It sees him tackle issue of a Puerto Rican man's miscarriage of justice for a crime he didn't commit - a true story - apparently,that reaches a happy conclusion with his eventual release.featuring co-lead male and female vocals (uncredited on this release),it also finds PS in quite an angry mood with expletives used several times throughout the album - quite unnecessary on the whole.
Fifth and final inclusion: You're the one - is for me the weakest but by no means awful album in the collection.two cherry pickers of mine; Old and Hurricane eye - both excellent songs.
All five albums include; bonus tracks,demo's,acoustic versions,live versions etc - and enhances the whole package very well.

Each album is class. From folk to world music but always beautifully written and played. Full of atmosphere and soundtracks to life.
