grant May 01, 2013 - 05:55 | A brilliant album - originally released in January, 1970, not 1969 as indicated above. This is the last album they recorded together before splitting up. What a way to go out - in a brilliant flash of pure musical genius. One of the reasons this album sounds so good is that many of the instruments were played by four members of the famous "Wrecking Crew" - Hal Blaine, Larry Knechtel, Joe Osborn and Gary Coleman. |

On second thought, I may have to reconsider the part about big hair. A pparently , Paul and Art eventually reconsidered their hair options too.  |

It would be a hands-down winner if Simon had resisted the over-orchestrated and far, far too long ending. Still a terrific cut, some of Simon's best lyrics. |

One of the songs that convinced me that there was a big, wide world out there. Me too. Now that I'm old and live in California I can see that my vision about the 'wide world' was pretty much bulls*it. But the sun will come out later and the pretty young girls will promenade and it will all seem to make sense and somehow be OK. |
misterbearbaby Nov 08, 2012 - 13:09 | I'm having a Simon & Garfunkle sort of day. Hope it picks up a little — maybe to a 'Paul Simon sort of day' would be good. |
