Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Featuring contributions from Nile Rodgers, Phillip Glass, Al DiMeola, and others, 1983's Hearts And Bones is at once personal and ambitious, incorporating jazz fusion into Simon's signature rock/pop/doo wop vocabulary. Includes four previously unreleased bonus tracks.

5.0 out of 5 stars His Best? Arguable, But I'd Say So, January 27, 2006
By J. Merritt (Washington-Baltimore Corridor) - See all my reviews
It's difficult to even quantify how underrated this album is. It's absolutely fantastic, and features the best and most haunting of all the John Lennon tribute songs, "The Late Great Johnny Ace." "Hearts and Bones," "Rene and Georgette Magritte," and "Train In the Distance" are also masterpieces. Though it didn't have the kind of cultural impact that "Graceland" did, I actually prefer this album, and this reissue has some great extra stuff on it. If you like anything you've ever heard by Paul Simon, this is worth having.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have in any Paul Simon collection, June 26, 2005
By John Tabacco (Stony Brook, NY United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

Wherein we get as close to knowing the real Paul Simon as we're ever gonna get. An underrated masterpiece of honesty, wisdom, song craft and art. If you wanna write a song about the moon - think of Mr. Simon before you start.

The re-mastered version is a marked improvement in sound over the original cd release.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unfairly Overlooked and Vastly Underrated Simon CD, February 26, 2005
This is a great Simon CD, yet it has been largely ignored by the public. Originally intended to be a Simon and Garfunkel project called "Think too Much," the duo performed several of these songs ( Allergies, Think too Much, Song about the Moon), on their 1983 tour. However, because so many of the songs are so personal, and relate to Simon's failing marriage to Carrie Fischer, Simon took Art's vocals off and the project became "Hearts and Bones".

This is not among Simon's more commercial products, but give it a chance, the songs are lyrically rich and will haunt you for days after listening. This is in spite of the melodies, which are not that catchy. I have most of Simon's solo work, and this is the one I come back to most often.

This remastered version sounds very good, and as the original release harkens from the dawn of the CD-era, is a vast improvement. If you have never heard this CD, give it a try. It's ths best Paul Simon CD you've never heard.
