Paul Simon: An American Tune is the first full-scale survey of the
career of one of the most honored musicians and songwriters in
American history. Starting out as a teeny-bopper rocker in the late
1950s, Paul Simon went on to form the most influential pop duo of
the 1960s-Simon & Garfunkel-and after their break-up in 1970,
launch one of the most successful, varied, and surprising solo
careers of our time. In Paul Simon: An American Tune, Cornel Bonca
considers Simon's vast trove of songs in the biographical and
cultural context in which he wrote them: from the pop cultural
revolution of the 1960s which Simon himself helped to create, the
singer-songwriter movement of the 1970s, the turn toward world
music in the 1980s that gave the world the monumental Graceland, to
the intimate personal turn his music took in the millennial era.
Analyzing Simon's albums one by one, often song by song, Bonca
provides a deep and artful exploration of the work of one of
today's major songwriters. Offering a lucid and vivid portrait of
an astonishing decades-long career, Paul Simon: An American Tune
will interest a wide audience, from Simon fans to students and
scholars of American popular culture.
