Short intro

Songs from The Capeman is the ninth solo studio album by Paul Simon, released in 1997. It contains Simon's own performances of songs from the Broadway musical he wrote and produced called The Capeman augmented by members of the original cast. The songs retell the story of Salvador Agron, who was known as the Capeman. A departure musically from his earlier work, the album features doo-wop, rock 'n' roll and Puerto Rican rhythms and a number of songs contain explicit lyrics, a first for Simon.

It isnt the score for the Broadway musical written by Paul Simon and novelistpoet Derek Walcott, but 13 songs out of 30-odd selected from the show. That said, the album is terrifically satisfying. Simon has found a surprisingly effective musical voice - intermingling doo-wop, traditional Latin styles and art-song sophistication - in which to tell the story of Salvador Agron, a Puerto Rican teenager who inflamed New Yorks ever-simmering ethnic tensions when he killed two young white boys in 1959. Agron, whose gang was called the Vampires, wore a black cape, and the citys tabloids dubbed him the Capeman. Paul Simon : Songs from the Capeman,альбом, рецезия, трек-лист, mp3, тексты песен. Paul Simon released 'Songs From the Capeman,' featuring music from his Broadway musical 'The Capeman,' on Nov. Paul Simon may have put more effort into The Capeman than any other project in his long career. He certainly put in more time. Unfortunately, Simons attempt to conquer Broadway led to his greatest failure. Even though the singer-songwriter expressed admiration for the show tunes of yore and songwriters such as Cole Porter and George and Ira Gershwin, he admitted to being turned off by the musical theater of the 70s and 80s the same era in which Simon was scoring hit after pop hit as a solo artist. Songs From The Capeman is based on a true story that was talked about in New York in the late fifties. A young man from Puerto Rico who had had a very tough upbringing committed a crime. Paul Simon collaborated with Dereck Walcott, Nobel prize winning writer, and wrote the musical, it became a very fine record. Ein Album nicht zum nebenbei hoeren, sondern ein Album, an dem Paul Simon jahrelang gearbeitet hat. Die Songs sind alle aus seinem Musical The Capeman, das von den Kritikern seinerzeit leider so verrissen wurde, dass das Musical nach nur etwas mehr als 60 Vorstellungen am Broadway abgesetzt wurde. Fuer mich unverstaendlich
