The Sounds of Simon & Garfunkel by Mother Nature's Son

Simon & Garfunkel are the epitome of nostalgia for me. Always such a beautiful and innocent pleasure to listen to, the greatest duo of all time if you ask me!

My introduction to Simon & Garfunkel was through the "The Essential Simon & Garfunkel" compilation on which nearly all songs from this album appear, unlike with the other S&G albums. That's probably why I feel more nostalgic about this one. Sadly, I don't think any folk-act will ever sound as beautiful as Simon & Garfunkel harmonizing together, but they apparently needed to cross that bridge over troubled water and split up after this album.

Favourite tracks: "Bridge over Troubled Water", "The Boxer" & "The Only Living Boy in New York"

The first side of the album is bookended with a track called "Bookends Theme"/"Bookends". Clever, clever! Makes it clear that it's a conceptual first side of the album, apparently it represents the circle of life. Everything S&G touched became nostalgic, but the song streak "Overs" through "Old Friends" is their height when it comes to sounding nostalgic.

Favourite tracks: "Fakin' It", "Mrs. Robinson" & "At the Zoo"

Paul Simon invites us to his Graceland and reminds us that he's still a musical genius. The songwriting, the musicians and the world influences are amazing! "You Can Call Me Al" gets me fired up every single time!

Exciting new sounds in the folk tradition by Simon & Garfunkel. More like any subsequent S&G album it feels like an album made by two folk musicians coming directly in from the street, which probably isn't completely off! Nice mostly acoustic blend of originals and cover versions.

Paul Simon is the one when it comes to writing infectious and catchy songs full of charm and "world flavours". He's still got it in the new millennium!
