About The Record:

In the Blue Light, by Paul Simon, consists of re-recordings of select lesser-known songs from Simon's catalog, often altering their original arrangements, harmonic structures, and lyrics. The songs were recorded with guests including the instrumental ensemble yMusic, guitarist Bill Frisell, trumpeter Wynton Marsalis and the National's Bryce Dessner. The album's title is a reference to the lyrics in the song How the Heart Approaches What It Yearns from the 1980 album One-Trick Pony. In an interview for CBC Radio, Simon confirmed that more songs were recorded during sessions for the album but ultimately left off the finished record. Outtakes include a number of unspecified songs from You're the One and a re-recording of The Sound of Silence with music based on the arrangement of Simon's live version from recent years. It is unknown whether or not these recordings will be released. The album reached No. 29 Austrian Albums, No. 21 Belgian Albums, No. 55 Belgian Albums, No. 91 Canadian Albums, No. 40 Czech Albums, No. 16 Dutch Albums, No. 36 German Albums, No. 24 Irish Albums, No. 7 Scottish Albums, No. 15, Spanish Albums, No. 33 Swedish Albums, No. 14 Swiss Albums, No. 10 UK Albums, and No. 70 US Billboard 200.
