At age 37 Harper Simon (son of Paul Simon) drops his solo full-length, a self-titled one. People don’t usually score any points with me when they talk about how they’re going to give their all to the good lord in the first song, but Simon has no problems redeeming himself further down the tracklisting.
Whether you’re listening to the Byrds-like “Shooting Star or “The Audit” which was recorded with a whole slew of Nashville veterans, Harper knows how to string melodies and hooks together in bouncy songs that breeze by and that you will want to hear again. Apparently with some people it does run in the family.
Score: 7.5 out of 10
