1993 Art Garfunkel Up 'Til Now

1993 Up 'Til Now
Art Garfunkel
Louie Shelton - Producer

Art Garfunkel gives his "deepest thanks to Mitchell Cohen at Columbia for the concept of this album." But what is the concept? It contains everything from the original Simon & Garfunkel recording of "The Sound of Silence" (from their Wednesday Morning, 3 AM album) to tracks from previous Garfunkel solo albums, stray songs apparently intended for albums never made, movie and TV themes, a live performance, and even a comedy routine with Paul Simon called "The Breakup", you name it.

Seals & Crofts

Louie Shelton - Bass, Guitar, Guitar (Electric), Vocals, Vocals (background), Producer

Summer Breeze offered an unusually ambitious array of music within a soft rock context -- most artists tried to avoid weighty subjects in such surroundings (except, of course, CSN or Simon & Garfunkel, who could pretty much get away with anything). The title track is one of those relentlessly appealing 1970s harmony-rock anthems, in the same mode as the Doobie Brothers' "Listen to the Music" and appropriately ubiquitous on the radio and in the memory; the guitar (electric and acoustic) and vocal hooks are all well-nigh irresistible.
