Graceland by Paul Simon reviews from people you don't follow
Rolling Stone's 71st greatest album of all time
Paul Simon's "discovery" of South African musical styles and using them to restart his flagging career after splitting up with Garfunkel and reducing sales on his solo albums. Musically more interesting than his other efforts, I would still rather listen to the artists that inspired it. I find Paul Simon to be quite weaselly and I can't get past that. The album was unarguably ground-breaking for its time (except a white man using music of black origin for his own gain, that was nothing new) and I would hope opened doors for world music artists.
