 Bridge Over Troubled Water El Condor Pasa (If I Could) Cecilia Keep The Customer Satisfied So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright | The Boxer Baby Driver The Only Living Boy In New York Why Don't You Write Me Bye Bye Love | Song For The Asking Feuilles-O Bridge Over Troubled Water |
| Professional Review: |
| No one can say Simon & Garfunkel went out with a whimper. The popular duo's 1970 swan song produced four hit singles and won six Grammy awards, including Record, Album, and Song of the Year. An involving mix of sweeping epics ("The Boxer," the title track) and breezy throwaways (a live cover of the Everly Brothers' "Bye Bye Love," the rock & roll trifle "Baby Driver"), Bridge was one of the most popular albums of its era. What's particularly striking about this collection is how brightly lesser-acclaimed songs like "So Long Frank Lloyd Wright" and the gorgeous "The Only Living Boy in New York" shine. (The 2001 reissue adds a pair of demos to the original work, including the traditional "Feuilles-O.")--Steven Stolder |

Written on March 29, 2006 Summary: My first album and still a favorite. Some of what we lose along the way should be replaced, and for me this purchase was very rewarding. Richer than I remembered it, and more energetic. Not 'just' poetry but good thought provoking and uplifting music. Great for the daily commute from work to home. Written on February 5, 2006 Summary: The additional new tracks are not necessary Great album but the two new tracks are a waste. If you already own the CD minus the new tracks, then save yourself some money. Written on December 19, 2005 Summary: for the title track alone "Bridge Over Troubled Water" is one of the most beloved songs in the history of popular music. A colossal #1 hit all over the world, it received every single award a song could win except an Oscar, and if it had been in a soundtrack it would have won that too. Garfunkel's vocals can only be described as angelic, and the arrangement is as rich as anything in the classical repertoire, resulting in one of the rare songs that is impossible not to feel deeply sentimental about. Heard extensively in the 1970's, in my opinion this song is almost underexposed now - maybe someday a filmmaker will choose it for a soundtrack and help it be discovered by a new audience.  Written on December 16, 2005 Summary: Return to My Yesteryear This album was released before I was born, but my mom was a big fan of their music (still is). I grew up listening to her play "Bridge" and "Boxer" on the piano. I was nearly a teenager before I realized they were on the radio too! Others may have recorded "Bridge" but I will only ever love the original recording. Listening to this album brings back memories of watching and listening to my mom play the piano, and being at a young age when I still thought she could do everything and the songs she chose were the same. I'm glad to have this CD in my collection! Written on August 16, 2005 Summary: S&G, beautiful, deep, insightful As a young kid, I was introduced to Simon and Garfunkel by my parents, and even though I am into modern rock today, like Tool, i think S&G really represent what the 60s was all about. When he wrote lyrics, Simon was writing some of the most beautiful poetry ever to emerge from the era. Garfunkel's voice is incredible, as is Simon's, and the song structure is very simple, but still increasingly deep. Bridge over Troubled Water, their last release, is purely amazing, as are all of their albums, but I choose to review this one, because it has my favorite song by S&G-the Boxer. From the opening piano to the very end, Simon and Garfunkel keep the listener enchanted with melancholic and insightful tracks like "Only Living Boy in New York" and "So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright," and cheerful tracks such as "Cecilia," and "Bye Bye Love." Overall, pretty much every track boasts damn fine songwriting. Bridge is definitely an essential album, and one of historical relevance since it was their last. See, kids can like art too. |
