The Story Behind: Paul Simon - Hearts and Bones, Ep 78

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Paul Simon was high off of a successful reunion concert in Central Park when Simon and Garfunkel decide to work together on a comeback album - but the relationship falls apart quickly and Hearts and Bones is the Paul Simon solo record we got instead. The team discuss re-using old song ideas, pleasant prog surprises, and Philip Glass's ambient noise production.
