In Class Listening - Graceland

Hello Readers,

In class this week we listened to Paul Simon's Graceland.  It's known as one of the better albums of all time.  I actually really enjoyed this album because it was super happy and conveyed the versatility of Paul Simon.  It blows my mind that he went from the sound of Simon & Garfunkel to this, although I do love pretty much everything he has put out.  Below, I have posted my favorite songs off of Graceland.  I love them and I hope you will too!


Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes


You Can Call Me Al
(Hooray for Chevy Chase!)


Graceland


Homeless


That Was Your Mother


I especially like that last song, because it tells such a great story.  This whole album really fits together well and is incredibly catchy.  I definitely see how it sold a total of over 14 million copies.  Anyways, that's it for this week.  Thank you for reading The Jack Barton Blog and have a nice day!
