steve@baselines.com Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I forgot about this song till recently - I really liked it when it was out, but then I like most Paul Simon songs. He has an emotive voice and I hope I captured some of that feeling. https://baselines.com/?p=7274 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
equality Posted Wednesday at 11:51 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 11:51 AM One of my favourites by P S. The guitars sound a bit digital. The quena flutes sounds wonderful. Well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjornpdx Posted Thursday at 05:42 AM Share Posted Thursday at 05:42 AM Brings back a memory of a super religious family member back in the 70s who hated the song because of the lyrics. Very well done cover, Steve. Really like the Incan (?) flute especially. -Bjorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noynekker Posted Sunday at 01:44 AM Share Posted Sunday at 01:44 AM Hi Steve, I don't recall hearing this one before, not one of Paul Simon's big radio hits I might recall. You've done an excellent job here, and I can certainly hear the "Paul Simon" flavour when listening, throughout this whole piece. Right away, those flutes reminded me of "I'd rather be a hammer than a nail" (I never remembered "El Condor Pasa" was the song title), it was no doubt written in that same era . . . oops, google says 55 years ago, can that be correct ?, maybe I heard it in a previous lifetime Also, another great sounding recording from your studio ! Good work, good listen. Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
