Paul Simon ~ Slip Slidin' Away

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

I love this song. Live versions are always interesting, he usually builds it up better at the end.

Itunes Originals had a version a few years ago - it might still be there, i don't know - that was almost countrified in sound. Very cool.
