Description
Exorcising personal demons and romantic trauma, 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. Musically, Simon steps back from the eclecticism of his prior album and cozies up to a jazz-pop sound steeped in subtle horns and strings. A plethora of catchy hooks do the rest and make this another classic entry in Simons history.
The rich solo catalog of Paul Simon began with several classic studio albums released from 1972 to 1975. Like his seminal Simon & Garfunkel recordings, Simons first solo albums were also released on Columbia Records. Paul Simon (1972), There Goes Rhymin Simon (1973) and Still Crazy After All These Years (1975) now return to the Columbia imprint for the first time since their original vinyl releases.
During his distinguished career, Simon has been the recipient of many honors and awards. A recipient of the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, Simon has won 12 Grammys including three Albums of the Year. Simon is a member of The Songwriters Hall of Fame, a recipient of their Johnny Mercer Award and is in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame both as a member of Simon and Garfunkel and as a solo artist. He was a recipient of The Kennedy Center Honors in 2003 and was named as one of Time Magazines 100 People Who Shape Our World in 2006. In 2007, Simon was awarded the first annual Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song.
