GRACELAND SHINES
By: Bruce on 15 August 2021Released in 1986, Paul Simon’s Graceland was a massive hit. The song-writing half of Simon & Garfunkel produced a set of infections pop/rock songs that people are still singing along to when they come on the radio, mainly thanks to the contribution of South African musicians. Yes, there was controversy at the time, but all these years later what remains is a sparkling set of tunes decked out in vibrant colours provided by African (and other) musicians. From swooning harmonies ("Homeless") to zydeco boogie ("All Around The World"), if you are having a grey day, this is one to bring out the sun. [104 words]
