Paul Simon’s “Seven Psalms”: His Weakest ‘Album’ Ever

Truly banal, mediocre doggerel (“The Covid virus is the Lord”) and very uninteresting, thoroughly unimpressive guitaring. A 33 minute insult to his long-time fans. Not the album to finish a great career on: a veritable bomb. Hugely disappointing. (Move along, move along, folks.)

Subsequently (Sept. 20) Paul can be forgiven for this album–maybe his last–with his reported damaged hearing and his hanging up his performer shoes. He richly deserves his retirement with a catalogue and popularity rivaling Bob Dylan and The Beatles. A great songwriter who has already been honored many times for his work. So many other outstanding songs and albums to look back on.
