Reviews

vinyl_solution Dec 13, 2022
Well .... I have to wholeheartedly disagree. This is an absolutely beautiful album. Art Garfunkel sings like he always sang, like an angel. Mostly cover versions, but completely worthy of his interpretations. How someone like Garfunkel could release the absolutely cringeworthy Bright Eyes just 4 years later is beyond me, as this album is very very far removed from that. The arrangements too are simply gorgeous, with Richard Hewson and Del Newman getting involved and adding some sumptuous strings on some tracks, as well as his estranged former buddy popping up on the familiar My Little Town. The two Stephen Bishop covers are particularly beautiful and The Waters Of March supply us with his opposite vocal range, sung in almost monotone over the Jobim melody. And Andrew Gold pops up too, lending his superb multi instrumentation to a few tracks.
Please don't diss this album out of hand, it's not throwaway at all, and very much deserves 40 minutes of anyone's time.

Exactly as you would expect a 1975 Art Garfunkel album to be. It is making me want to hit things with hammers.
