Deep Track of the Day #280 - 8/29/22 Paul Simon – “The Cool, Cool River” from The Rhythm of the Saints I’ve covered a few Paul Simon and Simon & Garfunkel songs here and there. Simon’s somgwriting is inherently beautiful. Simon is working in a very unusual time signature for this one but it doesn’t feel unusual. It just works and flows so perfectly well. He creates this gorgeous journey of a song. I can sink into it and get lost. And the horns in the finale are so powerful they could knock me off my feet. So that’s the end of this “season” of Deep Track of the Day. I did 80 instead of 100 this time for no other reason than it feels like an easier number of tracks to deal with. And there are so many more artists to do! Legends of thrash such as Megadeth and Metallica, contemporary powerhouses like Halsey and Phoebe Bridgers, Jazz greats like Eric Dolphy and Miles Davis, Synth Pop pioneers like New Order and Erasure, and while I’ve done Black Sabbath and Alice Cooper the bands, I haven’t done Ozzy or Alice Cooper solo. I’ve done 280 songs curated by myself plus about half a dozen chosen by friends and family. And I don’t see any reason to stop now. See you in a few months! I only heard this album last year(!) It's a stunning piece of work & to my ears at least as good as Graceland.
Thanks for the deep tracks & looking forward to more of them sometime soon.

I for one would gladly sign a petition to get Lauren to revive this thread. She introduced a lot of tunes I had never heard and her takes on the ones I do know were always enjoying. So what do you say Lauren?
