Synopsis

Amazon.com

The diminutive one travels back to his Brooklyn youth for both the sound and story of his recent, ill-fated Broadway musical. Unlike the heavily produced Graceland and The Rhythm of the Saints, there's a sweet simplicity to this delicate blend of doo-wop choirs, Latino rhythms, jazz horns and acoustic instrumentation. Meanwhile, Simon's true-life gangsta tale should be viewed as an earthy flipside to Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story. Unlike the play, the album as a whole is grade-A Simon (which is all the man's ever produced, One Trick Pony excepted). --Jeff Bateman

Randall H. (sagg) from MEDFORD, OR
Reviewed on 6/9/2009...

The most underrated Paul Simon album of all time.
'Vampires' is worth the whole CD alone.

With Cuban flair and Simons soft and soothing vocals, I recommend this CD to all!

His Best Since Hearts and Bones

Patrick Arbuckle | Portland, OR United States | 06/29/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Being a man of few published words, I will let the album speak for itself. It is Paul Simon at the top of his game. Every Song is a Gem and you would have to be coated in plastic for this brillance not to move you. The first, middle and ending song are pop genius. For me, this album belongs up there with Brian Wilson's Pet Sounds and Simon's Hearts and Bones and Graceland."

Yes, I agree with Patrick Arbuckle's review

Kevin Chapman | Flemington, NJ | 03/08/2006
