Info for Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

From the opening finely-woven tapestry, 'Scarborough Fair/Canticle,' to the closing wake-up call, '7 O'Clock News/Silent Night,' Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel present a powerful statement--theirs was to be the new standard in contemporary rock. These harmonies were not those of the fun-loving Beach Boys, and these two New Yorkers weren't singing about girls in bikinis. They sang about women who read Emily Dickinson.

Intellectual folk-based rock flourished in this classic collection written by the poet-of-the-moment, Paul Simon. The chemistry between Paul's warm, low tenor and Art's high, airy, etheral tenor was an unrivaled mix, creating a precise harmonic exchange that lent itself perfectly to Paul's well-crafted songs. The intricate arrangement of 'Scarborough Fair' is one of the prettiest in the band's catalogue.
