Newly-released exclusively through Starbucks stores is the Paul Simon Opus Collection: This Better Be Good. The 16-track career-spanning compilation features such Simon standards as "Kodachrome, "Late In The Evening," "Slip Slidin' Away," and "Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard," among others.
The tracklist for the Paul Simon Opus Collection: This Better Be Good is: "Kodachrome," "Peace Like A River," "Loves Me Like A Rock," "Late In The Evening," "Slip Slidin' Away," "Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard," "Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes," "Mother And Child Reunion," "American Tune," "Under African Skies," "Senorita With A Necklace Of Tears," "Bernadette," "Train In The Distance," "The Obvious Child," "Father And Daughter," and "Sure Don't Feel Like Love."
Art Garfunkel first sang Simon's "American Tune" at the duo's 1981 reunion in New York's Central Park, and has kept it in his solo shows ever since then: "I love Paul's 'American Tune,' and felt such an identity with that kind of song, it's a Bach chorale, that I do it in my show all the time. I never recorded it, but I identify with it, I kind of made it mine. Because it was in the nature of the material. There's a bunch of Paul's things over the years that kill me that I could do my own version of it. Yeah, I suppose that's an interesting album, Garfunkel Does Simon."
The Paul Simon Opus Collection: This Better Be Good can be ordered directly by logging on to starbucksstore.com.
Simon & Garfunkel performed on July 2nd in Perth, Australia. There has been no announcement made regarding North American dates.
