Rating: - A pony does what now?
I first got this album when I was a kid, I assume, back when it was new. My sister gave it to me, and I had no idea who Paul Simon was. But she and my other siblings knew I had come into rock music much earlier than they had, so she gave it a try. Still greatful about that, cause I loved it!
I can't really offer up any insights about this album. I am Norwegian, and at the time I may have been quite good at english, mastering the language even before scool, unlike most of my contemporaries, ... Read More
Rating: - Paul's Most Underrated Album Has Just Gotten Better!
Firstly, the product description by Amazon is erroneous as this is a made in Japan disc and not a European one.

The opening track, "Late In the Evening", actually won a Grammy and "One Trick Pony" is an excellent single on its own behalf with a ... Read More

the film was ok simon was good as the lead actor but the film although it was a road movie spent to much time literally on the road. Scene after scene of footage of the band in the tour van. The music however was top class. as an album its great late in the evening, jonah and how the heart approaches are all great songs
Rating: - A Lot of Dynamic Energy, Movement and Easy Moments
I really enjoy this album. I like Paul Simon's voice and delivery quite a bit.

"Late In The Evening" rocks and stills blow me away. "One-Trick Pony" and "Ace In The Hole" are just so cool. "How The Heart Approaches What It Yearns" is such tender and melancholic jazz. This is one of my favorite Paul Simon albums and it certainly ... Read More
Rating:  - Quiet, Thoughtful, and Suprisingly Expressive
This album is a sleeper: one rarely goes to One Trick Pony when a Paul Simon mood hits you; certainly his first solo album stands as a testament to his songwriting abilities, and the many hits along the way often draw you to other albums in his catalogue.
But One Trick Pony really stands the test of time: tasteful, beautiful songwriting, a clear, effective concept album sustained through song after song, and superior songcraft and performances (jazz guitarist Eric Gale, keyboardist Richard Tee, ... Read More
