Paul Simon

In 1995, Paul Simon was riding a wave of artistic resurgence with the release of his album 'Songs from The Capeman.' Although this work didn’t achieve commercial success, it showcased a blend of pop and Broadway influences that illustrated his ever-evolving musical style. The live recording at the Paramount Theatre, featuring Annie Lennox performing 'Little Bird,' was part of Simon's 'Paul Simon & Friends' concert series, meant to celebrate collaboration and creativity in music. This event happened shortly after 'Capeman's' release, underscoring Simon's commitment to musical exploration. Interestingly, Simon's earlier work had already paved the way for genres blending folk and rock, and his keen ability to merge different musical traditions continued to shine through in concerts like this.
