| | Paul Simon changes label (again) | | Paul Simon has announced that he is moving his entire solo catalogue from Warner Bros back to Sony/Legacy. This will come as a surprise for Simon´s fans as he left Columbia/CBS in the late 1970s after disagreements with Columbia bosses over the release of the single Stranded in a Limousine which Simon accused the label of failing to promote. Simon then signed to Warner Bros who released and promoted his next project, the One-Trick Pony film and supporting soundtrack album. Since then, all Paul Simon´s albums have been released on Warner Bros, including the massively successful Graceland and the most recent 2006 album Surprise, along with an alarming plethora of greatest hits compilations. Since the move to Warner Bros, Simon gained control of the masters to his earlier solo recordings and in 1987, his first four solo albums, including the live album Live Rhymin´, were re-released on Warner Bros CDs, cassettes and vinyl. In 2004 a remastered deluxe version of all 9 solo albums were released on Warner´s Rhino label, including bonus material, out-takes and missing tracks. It seems likely that the new album that Simon is reportedly finishing will be released on Sony records but whether all ten solo albums between 1972 and 2006 (not to mention one live album and all eight compilations released between 1988 and 2007) will also be re-released remains to be seen.
| | Paul receives award for Bridge | | Songwriters Hall of fame honour Bridge over troubled water NEW YORK – The iconic ballad ´Bridge Over Troubled Water´ was so stirring that even a young Paul Simon knew he was onto something special when he composed it 40 years ago.

On last Thursday, Simon´s magical moment — one of several in his long career — was honored by the Songwriters Hall of Fame in a ceremony

Paul Simon concert Reviews
| | New Orleans 2010-04-24 | | As reported: Art Garfunkel had some serious voice problems during that show, because he suffers from laryngitis. A few days later all further S&G shows have been postponed for 2 months. Hopefully he recovers soon and completely. Special at this show:
-Cecilia” had them actually rocking with a few of New Orleans favorite sons, trumpeter Terence Blanchard, clarinetist Michael White and zydeco extraordinaire Rockin Dopsie Jr, which brought a lively end to this historic event. Paul Simon did a w
| | Melbourne 2009-06-26 | | Saw Paul and Art last night here in Melbourne and, despite the fact that I am a lifelong fan of both individually and as Simon and Garfunkel, I have to say that this was the best concert I have been to. The two hour set list (including a twenty minute burst of individual hits by both Paul and Art) was simply superb, the harmonies as pristine as ever (having, if anything, matured with age), Paul was in his element as the centre of the stage´s musical universe, and the backing band (led by the unc
| | Sydney 2009-06-23 | | Ok, here is my second review for the tour! I really didn’t plan on going to this concert until literally a few hours before and even on my way there I had my doubts, but wow, what an evening. I was seated close to the stage but on the right ‘side view’ section – i.e. Paul’s side of the stage, which actually had its benefits, as I had a better view of the musicians than being in the front row. The music was amazing, Artie’s voice I thought had improved considerably from Sunday night – I’m not sur
