Paul Simon is thinking of asking Bob Dylan to duet with him on his latest album, according to Roger Friedman of showbiz411.com.
Simon told Friedman that the latest album, which is being produced by Phil Ramone, is “the best work I’ve done in 20 years.” |
He also said that he is moving his solo catalogue back to Colombia Records, which has all the Simon and Garfunkel albums. At present, Warner Music Group has all his albums from 1972’s “Paul Simon.”
