I've loved Simon and Garfunkel for a while now, so I thought I should start exploring Paul Simon's solo career a bit more. I haven't heard any of his albums in entirety - just hits like "Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover", "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard", "Kodachrome", and others. Where should I begin?

Graceland, on the other hand is a landmark album worth having in it's entirety. PS is joined by various South African musicians and they did wonders in revitalizing not only Paul`s sound, but also his career, and my waning interest in him as an artist! I`m no expert on his post-Graceland stuff. Either his material isn`t as good as it used to be, or I`ve become immune to the charm of his music. Either way, I haven`t heard anything particularly noteworthy. That`s a lot of music in three clips, Felipe. I`m going to need time to assimilate it !

Anyway, this is a recommendation thread, right? and this clip is also a result of serendipity - I found it while I was looking for the Joi Bangla Banned, but I actually like it more than the genuine search results:-

Interesting clip, Lisna, and I agree that it's better than the genuine search results.
I'm going to throw a recommendation at you, Miss P, and anyone else who frequents this thread in the hope that it's new to you: Their harmonies remind me a bit of CSN(Y).

TBH I´m not a huge fan of country but I like the way that HWIII´s scarred old voice brings an honesty to this song. Any other recs for us? A total change of style, but here´s a track I came across recently: it´s from a collaborative album made by two big names in world music, one from Mali, one from Israel. It made me think of a piece of old embroidery; rich colours and an intricate display of craftsmanship:

Hey Pet_Sounds, thanks for the recommendation I take these kinds of things very seriously, and really appreciate it.
Never heard of the Fleet Foxes and this is the first time I've heard this song, thanks! It's a bit too mellow for me (I do like mellow stuff if it's mysterious/creepy/special to me in a emotional way), but I didn't find anything too memorable or interesting in the song. From this thread I'm always most interested in stuff with lots of different folk instruments, like mandolins, violin, or other traditional stringed stuff. Nice song, all the same, pleasant to listen to for sure. ^^ Thanks again. |
