About

Songs from The Capeman is the ninth studio album by Paul Simon, released in 1997. It contains Simon's own performances of songs from the Broadway musical he wrote and produced called The Capeman augmented by members of the original cast. A departure musically from his earlier work, the album features doo wop, rock 'n' roll and Puerto Rican rhythms.
