Covid has brought a life unknown to our previous lives. American Tune reached into my heart, “ don’t know a soul whose been at ease” Paul wrote this nearly 50 years ago and it is like he wrote it yesterday. The last five years have been so challenging for so many many people. We wonder if we’ll be alright. Thank you Paul.

Pure Gold

I searched to add Kodachrome to my library. Then I looked at the rest of the song list. Oh hey this one's great too. And this. Oo, and this one! And that. And omg, okay I guess I'm buying the album. I only knew about 14 of the songs by name. The rest, were completely new to me. Somehow I missed "Love me Like a Rock", "That was Your Mother", "Born at the Right Time", and several others growing up, because at the time I was more into hard rock or metal. But every one of them is pure gold. Buy this album. You will not be disappointed.
You go BOY!

Loved the tracks when they came out. Loved them when I bought the LP's, loved them on CD, and now love them downloaded. Can't say better than that. I remember all the women I was with. Love them all.
Good album throughout!

Bought this album four years ago, great purchase 💯 Lyrically meaningful, musically creative and easy listening. Paul Simon will always be one of the best.
Where's "Loves me like a rock?"

This is a terrific album of greatest hits for Simon as a solo artist. One song that's missing, though, is Loves Me Like a Rock. Why? It was big back in '73. Album's not complete without it.
Amazing

Duncan is such a beautiful song. This is a great collection from one of America's finest.
Don't know why I waited so long.

I always liked Paul but never bought any of his music back in the day cuz I was into more rock and roll. So glad I downloaded this. Brings back many good memories and nice to sit on the deck with a cocktail and chill. Highly recommended.
