Music reviews of One-Trick Pony

Music Review: A pony does what now?
Rating: 5 Stars

I first got this album when I was a kid, I assume, back when it was new. My sister gave it to me, and I had no idea who Paul Simon was. But she and my other siblings knew I had come into rock music much earlier than they had, so she gave it a try. Still greatful about that, cause I loved it!

I can't really offer up any insights about this album. I am Norwegian, and at the time I may have been quite good at english, mastering the language even before scool, unlike most of my contemporaries, I still had no clue what the title reffered to, or what the songs were about. Pretty sure most people in Norway at the time didn't know that this was the soundtrack to a movie, as it sank at the box office or failed to get a theatrical release. Only years later, in my teens, when I started watching all the Woody Allen movies I could come by, was I aware that Paul Simon had even acted!

Now of course, I know about Simon & Garfunkle, Kodachrome, Me and Julio and You Can Call Me Al. Videos with Brazilian drummers, Chevy Chase, great performaces on Saturday Night Live, even greater ones in Central Park. The South African controversy etc.

Still, this album has a special place to me. It's one of the first rock albums I remember belonging to me, and not just one I had smuggled into my room beloning to one of my older siblings. I remember singing along to the songs, and feeling like I was kind of special. Hey, I digged this adult music! Meanwhile my friends listened to songs sung by hand puppets and Smurfs.

So years later, I finally got this on cd. I listened to it all over again, getting that rush you get when music trigger memories. It's just a great now as I remember it being back then. And even though I can't go into it song by song and give deep insights, I still feel I should suggest to anyone reading this, that they get this album, simply because it's so darned good!

Still, I sure would like to finally see that movie...
