The album features standout tracks like “Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard” and “Mother And Child Reunion,” enriched by arrangements from Simon himself and contributions from musicians such as Larry Knechtel on harmonium and Stephane Grappelli on violin. The involvement of Los Incas on charango and the subtle horn work by Fred Lipsius and Jack Schroer adds a worldly texture that hints at Simon’s evolving musical curiosity beyond American borders. It’s an album designed for focused listening, with intricate acoustic interplay that rewards attention without demanding it. This 1972 vinyl pressing presents those songs with a firmness that suits attentive play, housed in a format that lets the music breathe. The record’s \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shoptheden.com\/blogs\/news\/how-we-grade-vinyl-records-at-the-den\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eVG+\u003c\/a\u003e condition indicates it carries some light surface marks and minor signs of use, typical for a well-loved player, but without anything that should interfere noticeably with playback. If you’re placing this among your folk rock or singer-songwriter records, it’s a solid choice—just the sort of companion to keep nearby for when you want to hear Paul Simon working things out on his own terms, with a lineup of players who add subtle shades rather than loud colors. After all, not every groove needs to shout to make a statement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003csection data-track-listing=\"true\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTrack listing \u0026amp; samples\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaul Simon - Paul Simon\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMother And Child Reunion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDuncan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEverything Put Together Falls Apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRun That Body Down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArmistice Day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMe And Julio Down By The Schoolyard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeace Like A River\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePapa Hobo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHobo's Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParanoia Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCongratulations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embeds\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embed\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fwoVd97TDgo\" allowfullscreen loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;min-height:152px;border:0;border-radius:12px;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embed\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/7npBPiCHjPj8PVIGPuHXep\" allow=\"encrypted-media\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;min-height:152px;border:0;border-radius:12px;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Den Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"VG+ \/ VG+ \/ 1972","offer_id":67641511903548,"sku":"DEN00001096","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/9932\/2684\/files\/NzAtODU2Ni5qcGVn.jpg?v=1791409589","url":"https:\/\/shoptheden.com\/products\/paul-simon-paul-simon-lp-100726-den00001096","provider":"The Den New Hope PA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
