Garfunkel who?
Paul Simon's debut is practically a tangible explosion of creative energy and musicianship from one of the great songwriters of the 60s. Gone are the elegant ballads of Bridge Over Troubled Water, as the opening track "Mother and Child Reunion" is an incredible reggae song (and a Top 5 hit in both the US and the UK) that lets you know from the get-go that Simon had far-ranging eclectic interests beyond the folk-rock he had been known for. He mixes a certifiable maelstrom of music mixing reggae, folk, country, blues, psychedelic rock and pop and proved from the beginning that he had so much more to offer the world after the split of Simon & Garfunkel. This is simply an extraordinary record, and one of the few solo records to have succeeded both commercially and critically as well as Paul Simon did.
