It’s very difficult to pick just one of Simon & Garfunkel’s songs when considering the remarkable body of work they produced from 1965 to 1970, but this is an upbeat foot-tapper which ticks all the right boxes musically and lyrically. Yes, Paul Simon wrote this to have a moan about the exhausting touring the duo were obliged to do, but to some degree I usually feel one step ahead of the shoeshine, two steps away from the county line, just trying to keep my customer satisfied (note that the use of the singular noun there, folks, is not merely generic, but factually accurate).
Onslaught is available for pre-order at the special introductory price of $2.99 in the US here, in the UK here, in Canada here, and in Australia here.
