    The 13-track set, Simon's first album of original material since 2000's Columbia Records release "The Bedroom Tapes," boasts a Brazilian-heavy sound.

    "You don't have to be singing bossa nova or samba to get the essence" of Brazilian music," Simon says. "There are songs that fit no one rhythm or generic type or song progression."

    One song each was written by Sally and Ben Taylor, Simon's children with Taylor.
