Paul Simon (thing)

Also the name of Paul Simon's solo debut album.

1. Mother and Child Reunion
2. Duncan
3. Everything Put Together Falls Apart
4. Run That Body Down
5. Armistice Day
6. Me and Julio Down By The Schoolyard
7. Peace Like A River
8. Papa Hobo
9. Hobo's Blues
10. Paranoia Blues
11. Congratulations

Released in 1972, this often overlooked album is full of gems beyond the most famous Mother and Child Reunion and Me and Julio Down By The Schoolyard. Hobo's Blues, featuring jazz legend Stephane Grappelli, is an amazing instrumental, while Peace Like A River, Congratulations, and Everything Put Together Falls Apart are surprisingly open and emotionally beautiful songs. The album flows from beginning to end (and often around again!) and not a single song on it is a "mistake" or "that track you always skip."
