"Rhymin Simon" is a great album cgod, I agree. While my passion for Paul's work doesn't end, I can see where you are coming from especially when you write Thanks for the link, I enjoyed starting my day out with this one. "One man ceiling is another man's floor". -The guy is such a masterful lyricist.I guess I would just much rather hear a Bhundu Boys album then listen to Paul bring the Bhundu Boys and their sound with his hefty songwriting chops.
One thing I've always taken issue with is when people say Paul "discovered" these rhythms, musicians and styles. They usually do so in a way that is vague and could mean discovered for himself or for all of mankind. The latter is ridiculous.
