Sixteen-time Grammy winner Paul Simon will release Surprise, his much-anticipated collaboration with producer Brian Eno (Talking Heads, U2), on May 9th.
The long-awaited follow-up to Simon's last solo effort, 2000's gold-selling You're the One, was recorded in Eno's London studio, as well as studios in Nashville and New York, and features Herbie Hancock and jazz guitarist Bill Frisell.
Among the album's eleven tracks, which feature Simon's trademark intricate acoustic guitar, is the Oscar-nominated "Father and Daughter," off the soundtrack for the animated film The Wild Thornberrys, as well as the song "Outrageous" and the opener "How Can You Live in the Northeast."
