Paul Simon’s new album, Seven Psalms, consists of just one track. Simon’s vision is that it is something to be listened to in its entirety so he weaves the seven psalms together into one piece. The seven psalms are The Lord, Love is Like a Braid, My Professional Opinion, Your Forgiveness, Trail of Volcanos, The Sacred Harp, and Wait. The second vocalist heard occasionally in the piece is Edie Brickell.

So many great covers (and so many by female artists). Emmylou loved doing The Boxer so much that she recorded it twice, once on her Bluegrass album, Roses In The Snow, and the version you played. And, with or without Paul Simon, Ladysmith Black Mambazo's singing Homeless always gives me chills. Good show today, Mike
