Reviews
–
This album is really uplifting and joyous - Paul Simon records with South African Ladysmith Black Mambazo for a few of the tracks, and All Around the World or The Myth of Fingerprints was originally a collaboration with the band Los Lobos. It's hard not to feel happy listening to this album, and the poetry of Simon's lyrics is often beautiful.
