Reviews Customer Reviews for Parsley Sage Rosemary And Thyme      A Classic      Rating:      This was one of the first albums I ever owned. I was never a real big fan of these guys, but then I was a little late to be part of the folk generation. However, it is reasonable to look at Simon and G as artists who kind of bridged the gap between folk and pop rock. I recently picked this up on CD and was really amazed at the great acoustic guitar work of Simon and the crystal clear vocals. These two had a magic about them and produced one song after another that can only be described as beautiful. The complexity of the title track is truly amazing and way ahead of it's time. If you feel like you have a bad case of high blood pressure and want some serenity and peace then give this a listen.     Customer Reviews for Parsley Sage Rosemary And Thyme Cd      Poetry set to music...      Rating:      Hugely popular at the time but, as with much of Simon & Garfunkle's work, now increasingly consigned to the "interesting time-piece" category, "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Time" is quite simply one of the best albums from the 60's. If you haven't listened to it recently, get out your old copy and prepare to be amazed at the quality of the songs, the complexity and superb metering of their lyrics and the often stunningly beautiful singing - captured at its finest in the breathtakingly poignant "For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her". Sure, a couple of tracks sound pretty dated and a couple fall into the easy-listening "rock-pop" category, but most have a timeless clarity and sincerity that few of their contemporaries and equally few artists since then have mastered. And... if you don't own it but want to discover how good poetry set to music can be, well, it doesn't get much better. Editorial Reviews for Parsley Sage Rosemary And Thyme Audio Cd      Amazon.com essential recording      When a retrofit of electric guitars transformed "Sounds of Silence" into Simon & Garfunkel's folk-rock entrée, the partners and their label hastily followed with a like-titled album mixing Paul Simon's acoustic folk songs with plugged-in bids for radio play. By contrast, this successor, released less than a year later, more coherently and convincingly reveals Simon's broadening horizons as a writer and the duo's nascent studio perfectionism. The title song remains a haunting signature piece, relying on acoustic guitar and harpsichord to carry its contrapuntal marriage of English ballad and antiwar plaint; such acoustic delicacy prevails throughout and has proven more durable than by-the-numbers wattage. The first great S&G album, the set includes "The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)," "Homeward Bound," "Dangling Conversation," and Art Garfunkel's luminous solo piece, "For Emily, Wherever I May Find Her." (The 2001 reissue adds a pair of unreleased demos to the original work.) --Sam Sutherland
