A lot of people have expressed surprise at this great Paul Simon album but I'm not sure why. One of the reasons given by Paul as to why he broke up one of the more successful vocal duos ever was his intention to pursue a different musical direction, one that involved his great love for rhythm, and we get large doses of that on this album which incorporates not only African rhythmic styles but also Cajun folk rhythms. We get complex time signatures and constantly changing rhythms not only in the music but also in the acapella vocal stylings of "Diamonds On the Soles of Her Shoes" which is full of syncopated rhythms. Fans of Paul are very familiar with his love for rhythm from earlier great tracks like the Grammy winning "Late in the Evening" which would have fit in well in this album as well. This version is also special as the sound quality has been remastered well for a good sound. The bonus tracks are an excellent plus as well. This is probably the best version of this album that is currently out there and is a must for all fans of great rhythmic music. Very highly recommended.
