Paul Simon – One-Trick Pony (LP, Album, 1980, Warner Bros. Records HS 3472)

Why This Record Matters
One-Trick Pony serves as both a studio album and soundtrack to Paul Simon's 1980 film of the same name. Anchored by the hit single "Late In The Evening," the album combines Simon's sophisticated songwriting with themes of life on the road and the challenges of a working musician. It stands as an overlooked but rewarding entry in his solo discography.
