In September, Paul Simon will release an album of ten tracks from his long back catalogue reworked and reimagined to accompany that month’s farewell tour of North America. Today, the updated version of One Man’s Ceiling Is Another Man’s Floor from 1973’s There Goes Rhymin’ Simon has been shared.
“It’s an unusual occurrence for an artist to have the opportunity to revisit earlier works and re-think them; to modify, even completely change parts of the originals,” Simon has remarked.
“Happily, this opportunity also gave me the gift of playing with an extraordinary group of musicians, most of whom I hadn’t recorded with before. I hope the listener will find these new versions of old songs refreshed, like a new coat of paint on the walls of an old family home.”
In The Blue Light is due on September 7th with the veteran’s final tour and with it glittering career all set to conclude at Flushing Meadows Corona Park in New York on September 22nd.
