Paul Simon

The Paul Simon Collection (Warner Bros.) This collection is a fine single-disc overview illustrating the many musical roads Paul Simon has traveled, from the tropical “Me & Julio Down by the Schoolyard” to the transcendent “Graceland” and beyond. Filled with songs that have become part of America, this is a Technicolor snapshot of a man whose pop sensibilities are faultless. Early editions of the set contain a five-song live bonus disc.
