Thoughts

Having just watched The Graduate, it made sense to dip in and do a Simon & Garfunkel album (even though every time I try and talk about them I end up saying Gilbert and Sullivan…). This is their debut that apparently didn’t do well to start with but was re-released a couple of years later and fared better.

It’s an interesting album because it’s not really a genre you would think goes down well - that old-school folk vibe - but it works very well. Their unique blend of harmonies is incredible, and even if all the songs aren’t to your taste, it’s impossible to ignore the talent behind it all.

Rating: 3 / 5
