Review

Rolling Stone (11/27/97, pp.106-107) - 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...terrifically satisfying. Simon has found a surprisingly effective musical voice--intermingling doo-wop, traditional Latin styles and art-song sophistication..."
Entertainment Weekly (11/21/97, p.131) - "...it's a complex and subtly exuberant piece of work....For all its Eisenhower-era harmonizing and crime-story characters, SONGS FROM THE CAPEMAN ultimately feels like an old-fangled Paul Simon album, which may be its most endearing quality..."
- Rating: A-

Includes three previously unreleased bonus tracks.

When Paul Simon released GRACELAND, it seemed like the apex of an already impressive career. A few years later, he compounded expectations by extending both his reach and his grasp with the Brazilian-tinged RHYTHM OF THE SAINTS. Continuing his tradition of raising the aesthetic bar, Simon explores new vistas yet again with SONGS FROM THE CAPEMAN. The album features his versions of the songs he wrote with poet Derek Walcott for the play THE CAPEMAN.

Based on the exploits of a street gang character of the same name, THE CAPEMAN incorporates several different musical styles into a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts (a method to which Simon is no stranger). In the songs that make up the bulk of the storyline, there's street-corner doowop (one of Simon's early loves), Latin music and of course the sophisticated harmonic sensibilities that mark THE CAPEMAN indelibly as a Paul Simon project.
