Paul Simon's Graceland

I really enjoyed this album because I really like Paul Simon's style of music. It was really relaxed but never really boring to me. I especially liked his song with Lady Smith Black Mambazo because it just added to the originality. I like that his music was influenced by the genre of South African pop and that it was really new for the time that it came out. It sounds like music you would jam out to on the beach on an island. Some people don't really like his voice because it's too nasally, but I actually really like his voice because I think it goes really well with the genre of music he's singing. One of my favorite things on the album is the beginning of "I Know What I Know". The other songs that I like are "Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes", and "Homeless".
