For older fans Songs From The Capeman will put a massive smile accross your face. On the Russia charts, superstar Paul Simon’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. Jim Jones has compared writing for Paul Simon’s new album to that on ‘Songs From The Capeman’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. This album is in perfect progression from Paul Simon!
Some call from Songs From The Capeman as a quiet invitation of an artist to sit and listen.
I hope to keep hearing Paul Simon works for a long time to come. Satin Summer Nights which is my favorite is a truly Paul Simon sounding song. Bernadette has a gorgeous instrumental sound, which lets Paul Simon’s strong vocals come to the fore. I have all of Paul Simon’s tracks and The Vampires is probably the most his introspective effort. Simple and heartfelt closing track Quality closes Songs From The Capeman on a high note. Strong, powerful vocals of Paul Simon in Can I Forgive Him are very impressive. I like the agression and power of Sunday Afternoon. Don’t judge Killer Wants To Go To College on the first listening. Best song on the album, love it. Virgil is nothing but pure genius. Killer Wants To Go To College Ii is one of the coolest songs Paul Simon has ever recorded. This track is full of harmonies and gets Songs From The Capeman off to a relaxing start.
