CD Reviews

A pleasant mix that sticks to the original

Jan Strojil | Olomouc, Czech Republic | 08/02/2007

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I was surprised how close the renditions are to Paul's original versions. With a few notable exceptions (Leonard Cohen), the only thing different is the voice. Even though, it's a nice mix for any Paul Simon fan."

Disappointing

David J. Pannell | Australia | 08/27/2007

(2 out of 5 stars)

"The two tracks involving Elvis Costello are pretty good, but the rest of the CD is really disappointing. Some of these artists are rather lacking in terms of good singing voices, which really stands out in contrast to Paul Simon's beautiful voice that one is used to hearing on these songs. Not recommended."
