Ben cinque decadi di musica raccolte in un solo cofanetto. E’ lo stesso Paul Simon a scegliere le tracce che andranno a comporre ‘Songwriter’, doppio cd in uscita il 24 ottobre.
“Penso me come un cantautore in primo luogo, l’artista e l’esecutore vengono in secondo piano“.
Così Simon spiega il perchè titolo della collection.
Songwriter conterrà classici del duo Simon and Garfunkel più la versione live di ‘The Sound of Silence’ registrata al New York Webster Hall e ancora una cover di Aretha Franklindal titolo ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’.
La Columbia, attuale detentrice del catalogo di Simon, ha deciso di ristampare – con una nuova masterizzazione – anche album classici come ‘One-Trick Pony’ del 1980, ‘Hearts and Bones’ del 1983, ‘Graceland’ del 1986 e ‘The Rhythm Of The Saints’ del 1990.
