The new release in the popular Ace Songwriters series spotlights Paul Simon's songs that have been popular and appealing for over 70 years!

This album contains 23 of his best works, reinterpreted in every style from rock to reggae, a cappella to AOR. All were chosen to demonstrate the diversity of Paul's compositions, and all were chosen because of the quality of each reinterpretation.
