One‐Trick Pony by Paul Simon
One‐Trick Pony is an album by Paul Simon, released in 1980. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 13 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Late In The Evening”, on 13 lists with a best position of #176.
One-Trick Pony, released in 1980, was Paul Simon's fifth solo studio album and his first for Warner Bros., which took his old Columbia catalog along with it when he signed. It was also his first set of new studio material since Still Crazy After All These Years in 1975, a gap of 5 years that makes the easy confidence here all the more striking.
Simon sounds loose and rhythmic, leaning on a tight band and a snappy groove more than on the hushed folk of his early days. "Late in the Evening" is the crowd-pleaser, a joyous, rattling strut that rattles along like a party spilling out onto the street.
