[CD] SACD Paul Simon - Still Crazy After All These Years

Mobile Fidelity CMOB 2212 SA, 0821797221269 - Pop/Rock Hybrid Stereo SACD - Mastered from the original master tapes SACD plays with expansiveness, fullness, and immediacy Exorcising personal demons and reflecting on midlife circumstance, Paul Simon frames Still Crazy After All These Years as a post-divorce statement yet retains cutting humor and lighthearted cynicism that make every song universally appealing. A succession of brooding vocals, jazz-laden arrangements, contagious hooks, and an appearance by the famed Muscle Shoals rhythm section further conspire to make the record a lasting template for mature pop music that offers meaningful contemplation of relationships, transitions, disillusionment, and responsibility. A chart-topping statement that coincided with Simon's ascent as a superstar solo artist, it now sounds more immediate, cunning, and refined courtesy of painstaking restoration.
