Paul Simon / Brett Dennen -- why do they sound alike?

[whiskeytown]

the central guitar riff of the song is almost identical to "Spirit Voices" off "The Rhythm of the Saints" - so is the tone - I didn't even get to the lyric though the vocal delivery is similar

I think it's all closer to ROTS then Graceland, however. One is West African, one is Brazilian.

If I had heard it without your initial post I'd have come to the same conclusion - very similar -

Oakdale CA - there's a hole I thought I'd never hear of again - LOL
