Classics endure the test of time

In a world where people nowadays are busy shouting at each other with thatI am going to be in your face 'tude, It is nice to go back and remember when music made sense without being obscene, because music is after all a Art (No offense Mr Garfunkel!)that touches the soul and hearts of those who lend a ear to them. If you love Simon and Garfunkel, either together as a group or as individual artists, then this CD is too good to either pass up and/or not have in your collection.
This music you can not only understand but enjoy as it relaxes you back to a time where love, flowers, romance, harmony and peace were the rule of the day, rather then hate, racism and obscenities were more in fashion then they are today.
Cat Stevens, Jame Taylor, Carly Simon, Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez, and Simon and Garfunkel, all touched your soul and made the (And they still do!) world and more beautiful and a better place to live for all!
Don't believe me? Then listen, to the samples from their albums, not with only your ears, but your heart as well. These treasures will never be old school, because as Ms Baez says, your soul is: "Forever Young".


Art webbed
Surely the singular sensuous voice of Art Garfunkel seeked the same sorta symphonic operatic lyrics written by his best friend/collaborative Paul Simon.

But! Jimmy Webb, the most celebrated pop song writer of the 60's 70's, with written hits "Up and Up and Away", "MacAthur Park", "Galvaston", Witicha Lineman", etc. . made a song cycle with this album.

This is the album that Art Garfunkel and Jimmy Webb wanted to make. An ache a take of broken heart from the first drink to the last damn it all done.

Art lingers over Jimmy's lyrics like Frank Sinatra does over Sammy Vaughn/etc. .

This is a classic break-up album, full of cigs stubbed out in an ashtray legged like white octopuses arms waving each way and another. .


Wonderful music
His voice is one of the greatest lyric tenor voices of our age. I love Art Garfunkel's music. I've heard people say that he was just along for the ride when he was the second half of Simon & Garfunkel. But who was the featured voice in "Bridge Over Troubled Water"? Art Garfunkel. Why? Because he has the "chops" to carry that most beautiful melody in a flawless performance. "Watermark" is yet another example of the fresh and wonderful treatment of great arrangements. His voice sails in such a way as to carry the listener to some distant land of beauty and peace. I loved this album when I first bought it on LP. I love it still as a CD.


Watermark
If you are true Simon and Garfunkle fans you will love Art's solo albums just as much or more than Paul's. I have this particular album on vinyl and was very excited to get it on CD, as my vinyl is getting worn out.
