Urban, sensitive, intelligent and obviously gifted with outstanding voice, Garfunkel is kind of singer I would turn to for some music comfort.
It is perfectly polished mid-1970s pop album with squeaky clean production and I don't mind - it matches Garfunkel's angelic tenor nicely and the choice of songs is fine by me. How can anybody dislike gentle ballads by Stevie Wonder or cover of "I only have eyes for you" anyway? It is excellent contrast to usual pop stars macho posturing and welcome change to a really beautiful voice that's pleasure to hear. Great Brazilian composer Antonio Carlos Jobim is presented with "Waters Of March" which is usually very pretty song but unfortunately done here in very monotonous voice which is a pity, it could have been much better had Garfunkel decided to sing it in higher register.
Very smooth and relaxing listening.
