This video now plays for me in the UK. 'Sony' have audio blocked in Germany only. Please keep trying if outside Germany.

Steve Gadd used his hands to play the drums on "Hearts and Bones"? I didn't know you could do that.

[Ellgee82]

Not sure if Steve Gadd used his hands during the studio recording - interesting! The drummer featured here is Dave Weckl.

[samsticka]

Dave Weckl? Never heard of him. Is he any good?

Steve Gadd originally played on "Hearts and Bones".

New York Jazz drummer filling in here on Steve Gadd's original recording - don't know much more about him.... Paul must think he's good.

Hearts and Bones is so underrated. I love the album, Song About the Moon is amazing, Paul's soft voice... I agree with CommonmanVideos, this period leading up to Graceland contains some of his best stuff. Thanks for posting, great job again. Five stars. :-)

Outstanding, as always!

It's also my favorite album, although I like all his stuff. Interesting interview clips - and nice to hear none other than Mark Steyn in his olden days asking the questions.

I have this album on vinyl - bought in the year it came out when I was living in the Philippines and (pre internet) away from all the adverse comment it got. I immediately loved it, and still do. The poetry of the songs has been overlooked - and I defy anyone who hears "Train in the distance" not to hum it for a week afterwards...

@samsticka Dave Weckl is about as good as they get. Except for maybe Steve Gadd!

Rene and Georgette Magritte his best and sweetest song ever!

This is one of my favorite albums of his. I think it is badly overlooked. What draws me to Paul Simon is his lyrics -- his use of phrases that seem to make no sense on the surface but actually make a lot of sense with a little twist. What John Hyatt calls "An Uncommon Connection"....

"Think Too Much" comes up a lot in my life when I think people are overthinking! My Godson loved it when I sang "Cars are Cars". Don't know why it flopped -- I love about every track on it.
