"Still Crazy After All These Years" — Paul Simon

from You'll Hear It · host Peter Martin & Adam Maness

Broken Record's Justin Richmond joins us to talk Still Crazy After All These Years. Paul Simon's Grammy-winning album was born out of divorce, and produced some of his greatest songs of all time, like 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover, My Little Town and I Do It For Your Love.We dive into the story behind this remarkable album, including Steve Gadd's famous drum beat and how Stevie Wonder's Innervisions may have been the catalyst for Paul Simon's divorce?! Plus - Adam shares why this has been such a transformative album for him, and how it influenced his playing. And, we ask: Is this the ultimate sad boy album? Is this the apex moment of boomerism? We kick off our new season with these questions and so much more!🟠 Get the YHI newsletter for bonus stories that didn't make the pod.🔵 Start your free Open Studio trial for ALLLLL your jazz lesson needs.
