{"product_id":"paul-simon-graceland-180g-vinyl-lp-record","title":"Paul Simon - Graceland (25th Anniversary) - (Vinyl LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003ePaul Simon's landmark album on 180-gram LP vinyl. With Graceland, Paul Simon hit on the idea of combining his always perceptive songwriting with the little-heard mbaqanga music of South Africa, creating a fascinating hybrid that re-enchanted his old audience and earned him a new one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is true that the South African angle (including its controversial aspect during the apartheid days) was a powerful marketing tool and that the catchy music succeeded in presenting listeners with that magical combination: something they'd never heard before that nevertheless sounded familiar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs eclectic as any record Simon had made, it also delved into zydeco and conjunto-flavoured rock \u0026amp; roll while marking a surprising new lyrical approach. For the most part, Simon abandoned a linear, narrative approach to his words, instead drawing highly poetic (\"Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes\"), abstract (\"The Boy in the Bubble\"), and satiric (\"I Know What I Know\") portraits of modern life, often charged by striking images and turns of phrase torn from the headlines or overheard in contemporary speech.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn enormously successful record, Graceland became the standard against which subsequent musical experiments by major artists were measured and continues to provide rewards to its listeners and remains a pivotal listening experience for writers, artists and fans.\u003cbr
