A reserved successor THERE GOES RHYMIN` SIMON

STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS 1975 acts as opposed to its predecessor, THERE GOES RHYMIN` SIMON relatively unobtrusive. SIMON once said that he would be pretty much the opposite of avant-garde and he actually never do what generally was regarded as cool. In this context, it is for a musician accustomed to success pretty cool to release an album that contains only an obvious hit, namely the indestructible 50 WAYS TO LEAVE YOUR LOVER. The aloofness of the album probably has to do with his former life: STILL CRAZY documented the time of separation from his wife Peggy Harper. The songs are finely spun and make a turn to orchestral and slightly playful jazz arrangements to the fore. The delicate fusion of melancholy leads to a prolongation of the half-life. He gives the tunes a certain seriousness that one rarely finds in light pop numbers. Thus, he managed some tasteful songs, such as the elegant I DO IT FOR YOUR LOVE, the heavenly delicate Night Game, the easy-listening anthem HAVE A GOOD TIME and the gloomy SILENT EYES.
