Art Garfunkel’s “The Singer” out in April
Written by admin on February 15, 2012 – 9:17 pm - |
A two-CD Art Garfunkel collection titled “The Singer” will be released by Sony Legacy in April.
“The Singer” contains 15 Simon and Garfunkel classics, plus an extensive gathering of solo Garfunkel material, taken from 1973’s “Angel Clare” through to 2007’s album of standards, “Some Enchanted Evening.” |
Art Garfunkel chose the tracklist for “The Singer” and also provided track-by-track annotations, which appear in handwritten form in the booklet. For “Cecilia,” Garfunkel offered the following quirky observation:
| “‘Car!’ we called in Queens. Then we stopped the game and stepped aside. I grew up where the brick houses were semi-attached with driveways in between. Punchball was king. Somehow the yelling we did as street kids found its way to ‘Cecilia.’ We shouted the song over a track we made from a tape loop of rhythmic hand clapping onto our blue jeans.” |
