2011 Remaster,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Paul Simon in Concert: Live Rhymin' (Audio CD)
Just an FYI: Of the four Paul Simon 2011 remastered versions that dropped today, this is the ONLY one that is a 2011 remaster. The rest are reissues of the 2004 remasters. Five star CD, of course. This remaster sounds great and there are two new songs.

Sing An American Tune,
By
This review is from: Paul Simon in Concert: Live Rhymin' (Audio CD)
I bought this album in LP form back in 1975, and dug it out and listened to it today for probably the first time in 20 years. Although the record hasn't held up well, the music still astounds with its freshness and originality. Paul's collaboration here with the Incan group Urubamba shows he was playing "World Music" decades before it became the cool thing to do. His songs with the Jessy Dixon group similarly show him pioneering so-called "American Roots". And when he takes the stage alone with just his guitar, his presence and musicianship are breathtaking. "American Tune", written on the wreckage of Watergate, takes on a shattering new meaning in the wake of September 11th. I am amazed at how prescient these songs are. He recorded this album live in 1974, and by some strange trick of imagination and talent, the songs are still live and rhymin' today.

5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent live recording,
By A Customer
This review is from: Paul Simon in Concert: Live Rhymin' (Audio CD)
This is vintage 1970's folk-rock. Paul is accompanied on a couple of the cuts by an South American Indian band on hand-made pipes. They lend a distinctive touch to El Condor Pasa, and Lincoln Duncan. Paul also does a couple of gospel songs accompanied by a choir, this too comes off very well. The quality of the recording is excellent, although his narrative between the songs is sometimes a little faint. There is that "real life" feel you get from a live recording, but the quality is so good, you forget everything but the music once the songs begin.
