Paul Simon is an American singer-songwriter who was born on October 13, 1941 in Newark, New Jersey. He gained fame as one part of a popular music duo before embarking on a successful solo career. In 2001, he was honored with induction into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame as a performer.
Throughout his personal life, Paul has been married multiple times. His first marriage was to Peggy Harper and they have a son together. He then had a brief marriage to Carrie Fisher in the early 1980s which ended in divorce. Currently, he is married to folk singer Edie Brickell.
With his distinctive voice and songwriting talent, Paul Simon has left an indelible mark on the music industry. His contributions continue to be celebrated by fans worldwide.

Recorded entirely on acoustic instruments&nbsp;and predominantly performed by Paul, Seven Psalms showcases Simon’s craft at its finest and most captivating, simply with his voice and guitar.&nbsp;Intended to be listened to as one continuous piece, the 33 minute,&nbsp;seven movement composition transcends the concept of the “album".

A stunning, intricately layered work, it’s a record which establishes&nbsp;an engaging and&nbsp;meditative, almost hymnal&nbsp;soundscape,&nbsp;with Paul’s lyrics providing the gravitational center for constellations of sound woven from&nbsp;guitar&nbsp;strings and other acoustic instrumentation – including choral elements from the highly-regarded British vocal ensemble VOCES8, and a beautiful vocal appearance by Edie Brickell.

True to the origin of psalms as hymns meant to be sung rather than spoken,&nbsp;Seven Psalms&nbsp;reaches back to the very genesis of folk music: King David’s Psalms. The result is a quietly moving musical experience which uncovers a wealth of subtle details with every repeated listen. A step apart from anything Paul Simon has released before,&nbsp;Seven Psalms&nbsp;defies categorization.&nbsp;

The record’s tone is complemented by its artwork, which features a close-up extract of “Two Owls” by the celebrated landscape artist Thomas Moran.
