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 - I love Art Garfunkel s music. His voice is one of the greatest lyric tenor voices of our age. 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 - I have this particular album on vinyl and was very excited to get it on CD, as my vinyl is getting worn out. If you are true Simon and Garfunkle fans you will love Art s solo albums just as much or more than Paul s.
l was very much surprised - watermark was very surprising with alot of surprises and some great songs from past albums thank you art garfunkel
Please Remaster - SONY - Please Remaster and re-release this brilliant record. By far the best of Art s mostly mediocre solo output. The production and the songwriting - ah, yes - the sublime songwriting by Jimmy Webb - at the top of his game - is fantastic. Art perfectly capture s Jimmy s angst- ridden lyrics and his voice is never better. This a stone classic that has never aged. I d love to hear it using the best of today s mastering technolgy. Sony - I can guarentee you one sale right here.
