My all time favorite album - Growing up loving Simon and Garfunkel in the 70 s when in college, I strayed a little to Art Garfunkel s voice though Paul Simonis fantastic as well. This album de-stresses me daily though I had lost track of it for maybe 15 years! It stays in my car CD and I listen to various songs every day. I love every song. Waters of March is fun, 99 Miles from L.A. lyrical, and Same Old Tears on a New Background still makes me cry after all these years. (That line I m all right, yes I m all right will get at you too, I m sure!) A must for any collection of great American music! Thank you Art Garfunkel (and Stephen Bishop for one of THE most beautiful songs I ve ever heard--Same Old Tears)
Breakaway CD - Wonderful music by Art Garfunkel. I didn t know he could sing this well !
Excellent - It s a very rare occurrence to find a pop album (or an album in any genre for that matter) in which there isn t filler, but this album is one of those rarities. Every song is completely worth it. Granted, there are two or three songs which aren t quite as good as some tracks (Ragdoll in particular. It s a good song, but it s dimmed by the two gorgeous songs it s placed between. I find myself skipping past it in favor of Breakaway) but they still work for the album as a whole.Closer to perfection than most pop released in the last forty years.
Still a Classic After All These Years... - Remembered how refreshing Art s recordings were when released in the mid-70s - very unlike the music being written and recorded then. Heard a cut over the Holidays this past year. Immediately went to Amazon to order the CD. In particular, Break Away, Disney Girls and Looking for the Right One bring back a flood of great memories from that decade I lived in San Diego. A solid production.
Breakaway - This is a great CD. I bought the vinyl record years ago and have almost worn it out. I decided I needed the CD. The song Breakaway is one of my favorite songs.
