An Overlooked Paul Simon Goodie,
By
This review is from: Hearts and Bones (Expanded) (Audio CD)
Paul Simon's Hearts and Bones album came out just before the meaga album Graceland, so unfortunately this goodie got a bit forgotten. The songs are slightly sad, but in a comforting "I've been through it and am still standing" kind of way. I think Paul was going through a difficult time in his love life when he made this fine record. Outstanding song for me is "The late great Johnny Ace" which is Paul Simon's reaction to John Lennon's death, and really how the loss of our heroes affects us all.

Unfairly Overlooked and Vastly Underrated Simon CD,
By Donald R. Labonte Jr. "donlbjr" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hearts and Bones (Expanded) (Audio CD)
This is a great Simon CD, yet it has been largely ignored by the public. Originally intended to be a Simon and Garfunkel project called "Think too Much," the duo performed several of these songs ( Allergies, Think too Much, Song about the Moon), on their 1983 tour. However, because so many of the songs are so personal, and relate to Simon's failing marriage to Carrie Fischer, Simon took Art's vocals off and the project became "Hearts and Bones".This is not among Simon's more commercial products, but give it a chance, the songs are lyrically rich and will haunt you for days after listening. This is in spite of the melodies, which are not that catchy. I have most of Simon's solo work, and this is the one I come back to most often. This remastered version sounds very good, and as the original release harkens from the dawn of the CD-era, is a vast improvement. If you have never heard this CD, give it a try. It's ths best Paul Simon CD you've never heard. 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful

A must have in any Paul Simon collection,
By John Tabacco - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hearts and Bones (Expanded) (Audio CD)
Wherein we get as close to knowing the real Paul Simon as we're ever gonna get. An underrated masterpiece of honesty, wisdom, song craft and art. If you wanna write a song about the moon - think of Mr. Simon before you start.The re-mastered version is a marked improvement in sound over the original cd release. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful

Simon at his best...,
By Charles - Music Lover - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hearts and Bones (Expanded) (Audio CD)
This album represents Paul Simon's work at his artistic peak, and with little attention paid to the commercial considerations. "Allergies" was the "hit" here, and it's a good song, but this is not an album propelled by the "hit." This is the story of a man on his life's journey, a few years before he became "soft in the middle now." The songs, to my ears, add up to a spiritual and emotional reassessment of where he's been: with "Allergies" he's realizing the consequences of his past choices, with "Hearts and Bones" and "Train In the Distance" he's chronicling and re-evaluating major relationships. And then there's the philosophical "Song About the Moon," which I think is the album's greatest track with its loving admonition to stop procrastinating. Simon went out on a limb with "Rene and Georgette Magritte" and "The Late Great Johnny Ace." These songs emerge from previously unchartered territory and are unlike any other songs in Simon's catalog (up to this point). When I listen to them, I think that Simon was trying to use the song form as a painter utilizes a blank canvas. The resulting works draw me in to the world Simon so aptly and skillfully creates. (But maybe I think too much...)
