There Goes Rhymin' Simon is a studio album by American musician Paul Simon, released on May 5, 1973. It was his most rushed-released studio album, sixteen months after his debut, sophomore album. It contains songs covering several styles and genres, such as gospel ("Loves Me Like a Rock") and dixieland ("Take Me to the Mardi Gras"). It is arguably considered his best effort (due to its rich sound and crafted production) at least until the release of Graceland in 1986. It received two nominations at the Grammy Awards of 1974, including Best Male Pop Vocal performance and Album of the Year. It was ranked #267 on the list of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
