Paul Simon performed on Saturday Night Live last weekend and made me realize it's been some time since I heard anything from him. He was having fun too; you could tell by the way he was smiling on stage. It reminded me of all the wonderful songs he has given us through the years.A quick search found that his new album "Surprise" is set for release today, May 9th.
His official website also caught my attention...
"Surprise" features Simon's masterful voice, and showcases some of his finest guitar work to date. Augmented by Eno's innovative soundscapes, "Surprise" includes contributions from musicians including Steve Gadd, Herbie Hancock, and Bill Frisell.Paul Simon's ability as a songwriter amazes me. He always finds a way to reinvent his music and weave it into a tapestry of emotion, thought and timely commentary. "Surprise" is exactly that.
Paul has 2 television appearances scheduled this week, so set that TIVO.
