Songs From The Capeman

Paul Simon

A cinematic blend of 1950s doo-wop and vibrant Puerto Rican rhythms. Paul Simon trades global pop for a gritty, literary exploration of New York street life.

November 18, 1997 · Warner Bros. Records

A gritty, theatrical noir that balances nostalgic street-corner harmonies with the somber weight of a tragic true story.
