NEW CD: THE ESSENTIAL PAUL SIMON
Producer Paul Ingles hosts "The Emergence of Paul Simon," an engrossing two-hour special on the creative output of heralded songwriter Paul Simon.

Ingles draws from an impressive guest roster to explore how Simon connected with audiences in the 1960s as part of Simon & Garfunkel, in the 1970s as a solo artist and in the 1980s when he re-emerged as a world star with the release of his Graceland album.

The program includes excerpts from several archival interviews of Simon and features musicians Joseph Shabalala, Shawn Colvin, Deborah Holland, David Ziems and Jon Spurney. Other guest commentators include Simon biographer Patrick Humphries and music writers Ann Powers, Greg Kot, Jim DeRogatis, Pete Fornatale, Ashley Kahn, Anthony DeCurtis, Paul Zollo, Lydia Hutchinson, and Jim Fusilli.

By mixing Simon's music from key moments in his career with informed commentary from musicians and music critics, "The Emergence of Paul Simon" articulates what two generations of music lovers have found so compelling about this thoughtful and innovative writer and performer.
