Bridge Over Troubled Water - Simon & Garfunkel
Bridge Over Troubled Water was the fifth and final album from Simon & Garfunkel and a swan-song that yielded some of their most enduring songs.The pair were barely on speaking terms during recording, Garfunkel was busy acting in Catch-22 and they feuded and argued not just over the production style but also over what tracks to include.
A multi grammy award winner, including a nod for Best Album and Song Of The Year for Bridge Over Troubled Water it went on to sell more than 5 Million Copies and in some ways almost plays like a Simon &Garfunkel best-of today. The Boxer, Song For The Asking, El Condor Pasa, Cecillia, Keep The Customer Satisfied, and the Title Track are all very well known and the lesser known but equally good, The Only Living Boy In New York and So Long Frank LLoyd Wright add up to complete an outstanding Album. Bridge over Troubled Water is this Thursdays Critical Junction.
