Stranger to Stranger by Paul Simon (CD, 2016)

The Songwriter

Paul Simon is one of my favorite songwriters,and certainly one of the best songwriters of his (or any) generation. These songs don't disappoint. He is still having fun with lyrics after more than fifty years. Sit back and enjoy.Read full review

This is a fine Simon CD which I hope is not really his last...

However, it does not, as I discovered when listening to my son's download. include the several extra live tracks that one gets from the streamed version. Otherwise it's one of Paul's finest, with intelligent, thoughtful songs well arranged, and beautifully performed.

It's right up there with Hearts and Bones and Still Crazy After All These Years, and if it has to be, a great way to go out in style, with grace.

It seemed a bit recycled. Apparently "wrist band" is popular. Interesting concept and lyrics. Music did not seem to break new ground though.

Paul Simon

It is as good as music critics say it is but then I am partial to his Graceland and Rhythm of the Saints and this reminds me of of these CD's.

Not Rhymin Simons best

The price and the purchase was all fine, its just that Paul has sort of left the sort of stuff he was famous for way behind .
This is a good CD if you are trying to go to sleep , its no Graceland or Bridge Over Troubled Water !Read full review
