My man, Paul! I had this on LP as a kid, and listened to it all through middle school and high school. I remember being in my room, thinking that what he inspired in me in parts of this album was melancholy. It was probably a kind of new word to me. It's still the perfect word.
Besides the hits on this ("Mother and Child Reunion" and "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard"), I loved "Peace Like a River," and "Paranoia Blues." Listening to this CD over the past couple of days, I realize that I didn't understand the songs fully. But I kind of like the kid who connected with this music. The songs are even better than I realized.
