Album Notes & Community Reviews
Winner of the Grammy for Album of the Year, Paul Simon's deeply sophisticated, wonderfully mature pop-rock masterpiece captures the quintessential sound of 1970s New York. 'Still Crazy After All These Years' is a beautifully lush, incredibly melodic singer-songwriter classic, dealing with intensely poetic, profoundly bittersweet themes of divorce and aging over remarkably soft, heavily jazz-inflected grooves.
