cookieman15061 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Just bought the reissue/ remaster of Derek and the Dominos "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs". Just some great playing between E.C. and Duane Allman. In one word "Passionate". I got the deluxe edition with unreleased tracks. Highly recommended. In a totally different direction I also bought Paul Simon's "So Beautiful Or So What". As is always the case, Paul's lyrical phrasing is unbelievable. Combined with some of the most beautiful melodies I think he's ever written this ranks with is best stuff. His guitar work, something often overlooked, is stellar. Especially on the slower acoustic numbers were his finger picking style really shines. Genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Yeah, hard to believe (now), that Derek & The Dominos LP was panned, by the "critics," in it's initial release. Just shows what "Critics" know, all too often. IMHO, as always. Paul Simon is always a good/great listen. Some, better than other's, but he's always enjoyable.

BigKahune Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 . Of course, I'm well acquainted with D&tD, but I'll have to check out the edition you're talking about Cookie. And I haven't gotten to Simon's newly released album (just the last week I think). Now you've got me goin. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookieman15061 Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 Here's the second song on the CD. Paul tackles his version of what happens after we pass on. It's called Afterlife and full of Simon's sense of humor. http://youtu.be/FlmcLPACAMk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
