Paul Simon – One Trick Pony (Ltd Edn Light Blue Vinyl LP)

After a five year hiatus following 1975’s Still Crazy After All These Years, Paul Simon’s 1980 album One-Trick Pony, his fifth solo effort overall, was greeted with unanimous acclaim and much fervor from fans. Entitled after the movie of the same name (in which Simon also starred), the record is ripe for new appraisal. A properly East Coast affair co-produced by Phil Ramone, with two tracks recorded at the Agora Theatre in Cleveland, Ohio, One-Trick Pony is home to such Simon gems as the Grammy-nominated “Late In The Evening” and “Long, Long Day,” a collaboration with Patti Austin
