Editorial Reviews :
Paul Simon could have just as easily padded his retirement staging periodic reunions with former partner Art Garfunkel. Instead, the best evidence for Simon's rewarding artistic restlessness and intensely personal, sometimes prickly creative ethic lies on this 19-track compilation and five-cut bonus live EP. If his solo career's vaunted world music exploits (which stretch from 'Me and Julio' to Graceland's masterful core tracks here) seem overstated, they also sometimes overshadow the hard-won Tin Pan Alley sense of craft that underpins 'Kodachrome,' '50 Ways to Leave Your Lover,' 'Still Crazy,' and 'Adios Hermanos' from his doo-wop stage tribute, Capeman. The limited-edition live EP fleshes out the solo résumé with stirring '73 performances of 'American Tune' and 'Duncan' and revisits '60s glories with a backbeat-pumped, zydeco-inflected take on 'Mrs. Robinson' and a 'Bridge over Troubled Water' duet with Aaron Neville set against an eerie East Asian-meets-trance arrangement. It's a collection whose musical influences encompass continents, yet it somehow stays true to Simon's New York City heart.
Buyer Reviews :
Every so often, a lot of people in our industry completely forget about an artist who is know for their unique voice and determination for exactly what they do. In the case of Paul Simon, he has been around for over 40 years, alone and with Art Garfunkel, and his chances that he takes with the music is still compromising. It has been already 30 years since his solo breakthrough, ...let the music speak for what it is exactly suppose to, itself.
The 2002 Greatest Hits On My Way.. is a reflection of Paul Simon's unique solo career, with every single hit you can imagine. Each song is still genuinely crafted with a better sound than it was originally released with each album. There are so many good songs from his award-winning collections including You Can Call Me Al, Me and Julio Down By The Schoolyard, and 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover. The collection is also the only Paul Simon album, to feature songs from his 2001 Album Of The Year Grammy Nominated You're The One, and unfortunately the Broadway Bomb, Songs From The Capeman.
Although there are some fans that are still divided between Paul Simon's career, there are very few Greatest Hits collections that really sell for what they are suppose to out right now. This one, On My Way.. is absolutely one of those albums. I truly recommecnd this one for both new and old fans alike.
