About this album
One-Trick Pony is a thoughtful, often understated soundtrack album that shows Paul Simon turning film material into some of his most polished early-1980s work. Released in 1980 alongside Simon’s feature film of the same name, it mixes pop rock, character sketches and rueful observation, with Late in the Evening emerging as one of his best-known solo singles. Simon’s writing balances melodic ease with dry humour and emotional doubt, while the album’s songs give the project more weight than a typical soundtrack. It stands as an intriguing bridge between his late-1970s solo success and the more expansive, experimental work that followed.
