Day 0125 - Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel "Bookends" (1968)



That was a bit different; I was so used to mellow folky Simon and Garfunkel that the blurt of more raucous sound at the start of this album threw me off!  This is a really nice mix of sounds, with Garfunkel's sound collage "voices of old people" being an interesting interlude to the more considered and crafted songs of Simon.

I know it's overplayed, but I think "Mrs Robinson" may still be my favourite thing on here.
