Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. today for Paul Simon’s October 29th concert at Mud Island Amphitheatre. Simon is best known for his work alongside Art Garfunkel in the ’60s, his solo singles in the ’70s, and his classic Graceland album from 1986. But fans who haven’t kept more recent tabs on the songwriting legend are advised not to sleep on Simon’s latest album, this year’s So Beautiful or So What which, in this critic’s opinion, stands with Graceland and the 1972 solo debut Paul Simon as one of his three best albums.
Tickets for the Oct. 29 concert are available at Ticketmaster.com, at Ticketmaster outlets, or by phone at 800-745-3000.
Here’s the video for the first single from So Beautiful or So What, “Getting Ready for Christmas Day”:
