Editorial Reviews:

Amazon.com essential recording
The melding of South African styles and Simon's trademark sensibility made for one of the most intriguing albums--not to mention commercial hits--of the '80s. At once lively, thoughtful, gorgeous, and tough, IGraceland/I acknowledges splits both in South Africa's social fabric and in Simon's personal life (the title track is a clear descendant of the earlier "Hearts and Bones," a song about the singer-songwriter's brief marriage to Carrie Fisher). Humor is hardly absent from the mix, though; witness the addled "I Know What I Know" and the fable-like "You Can Call Me Al." i--Rickey Wright/i

Classic CD with bonus tracks. The remix of Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes is simply fantastic.

I like Paul Simon November 22, 2008
This is a good cd. I knew this before I bought the cd.br /The cd came in a reasonable amount of time. I'm currently living in Spain, and I had no expectations for how long it would take to get here. The cd was in good condition.br /If you like Paul Simon, and don't have this cd, I highly recommend that you buy this cd.

My favorite album ever November 8, 2008
I can't hear the compelling opening bars of any of these songs without tearing up; this album was my family's traveling music twenty years ago, when our kids were little. My husband had checked it out of the library, and we listened to it over and over as we drove through the deserts of southwestern Colorado and Utah. The driving beat was perfect for a road trip, especially the title song. But my favorite song is "Under African Skies". When I hear any of these songs, I think of my kids twenty years ago, and all the great times we had on those road trips, and I'm filled with a sweet nostalgia.
