| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Returning To Graceland |
| To be honest with you, the 1980's brought out some of the most universal and influential records of all time. While we will always think of Michael Jackson's Thriller and Whitney Houston's 2 records that really shot up the charts, her 1987 Whitney album and her 1985 self-titled record, there were some of those who've felt at that time lost in the shuffle. Paul Simon was one of those acts. He was in a awkward place in his solo career and personal life with a divorce from Carrie Fisher and his reunion with Art arfunkel in the early 80's. He needed a sense of inspiration to his work, because he did feel the need of being commercial success anymore. His most successful work, lied within inspiration from discrimination and turned into Graceland.
Classic Albums: Paul Simon's Graceland is a delightful and remarkable retrospective behiind what made Paul Simon's 1986 album one of the most influential records of all time, and his most successful to date. The story shows how Paul Simon went all the way to South Africa, and how he earned the influences to what became a great album. The documentary includes highlights from him as well as others who worked behind the scenes, including highlights from his Graceland tour and appearances from Saturday Night Live. The filming also shows how tracks like You Can Call Me Al were made into great videos for the MTV era with Chevy Chase. The filming was great and showed a lighter side from a country that was heavily discriminated and abused because of Apartheid rule. There also are great moments here including tracks like Graceland, the upbeat The Boy In The Bubble, and many other wonderful comments. All in all, Classic Albums has had many of its documentarires recently air on the VH1 Classic channel and reflect great music in our industry that we often really forget about and overlook. Paul Simon today is one of those acts who we still know and love, and I really recommend this if you're a die hard fan, or interested into new music. You might call him Al, but don't call him a throwback. Documentary: B+ Price: A- Extras: B Remastering: B Overall: B 1/2+ |
