Product description No Description Available. Genre: Popular Music Media Format: Compact Disk Rating: Release Date: 27-JUL-2004 Amazon.com The melding of South African styles and S imon's trademark sensibility made for one of the most intriguing albums--not to mention commercial hits--of the '80s. At once lively, thoughtful, gorgeous, and tough, Graceland acknowledges splits both in South Africa's social fabric and in Simon's personal life (the title track is a clear descendant of the earlier "Hearts and Bones," a song about the singer-songwriter's brief marriage to Carrie Fisher). Humor is hardly absent from the mix, though; witness the addled "I Know What I Know" and the fable-like "You Can Call Me Al." --Rickey Wright, ISBN13: B0002EQ7E2 ISBN10: B0002EQ7E2 Material Type: audioCD Show more
