The latest news from Paul say he is already working on 2 new albums.
He´s not finished. Simon is wrapping up a duets album with his wife, singer Edie Brickell (´It´s a variant of Americana, a cross between the Carter Family and swamp,´ he says), and starting a new solo album.
´I´m watching the clock and thinking I´d like to continue to write while I still have all my powers,´ Simon says. Asked about a new tour with former partner Art Garfunkel, Simon showed his famous poker face you have probably seen on the last cover of the Las Vegas magazine. It all might depend on the full recovery of Garfunkels voice.
We have already heard one of the upcoming songs from Edie Brickells and Paul Simons duet album about a month ago, so it is pretty clear what musical direction it will be. So it is really good to hear that Paul is also working on solo stuff again recovering complete new spaces on his journey.
Paul talks a lot about writting and recording new material in the last months, so it is somewhat unclear if the 2012 Graceland tour will be expanded to more countries. While in 2011 Simon gave 85 concerts (the most since 1991) he seems to step back a little bit from that heavy tour scedule this year and take a rest for recording new material.
