5.0 out of 5 stars No Doubt About It, April 25, 2001

By

This review is from: Fate for Breakfast (Audio CD)

This is a quality recording in all aspects. A great selection of songs (all by different songwriters), excellent arrangements, quality studio musicians, and Art is in fine vocal form. The songs run the gamut of emotions, from the exuberance of "Oh How Happy" to the despair of "When Someone Doesn't Want You."

But it is a little known gem that steals the show. Dave Townsend's "Miss You Nights" is one of my all-time favorite songs, and Garfunkel nails it perfectly. After 22 years, it still manages to touch my heart with it's longing and mourning.

This is a must for any Art Garfunkel fan.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Art of it all, December 1, 2001

Artie strikes again in 79 with this love it or leave it album. This is my favorite album by Mr. Garfunkel, though it is critically seen as a flop. From the hip (for Art at least) opening song, "In a Little While I'll be on My Way", to the electric guitar riddled "Take Me Away", everything here is done well, though it seems to contradict itself at times. Also present are some of Art's 50's remakes including the classic "Since I Don't Have You" and the lighthearted "Oh how Happy." Though the American album is missing the GREAT "Bright Eyes" Fate for Breakfast will always stay on my turntable. By the way, I'm 20. Strange? Possibly. Also note, the cover photos are wonderful, though a little confusing. We see a quite bald Garfunkel making a mess of dinner and sporting a blacked out tooth. I'm not sure what to think, he always looks so serious and mean. Ah well. I LOVE IT.

5.0 out of 5 stars TOPPING EMILY?, November 22, 1999

By

This review is from: Fate for Breakfast (Audio CD)

I could never have believed Art could top "Emily wherever I May Find Her," However, this entire album is full of to "Love" songs, and he is in top form on each one. Whatever took me so long? I truly enjoy the feeling Art has put into "Since I Don't Have You," but each and every one is a topper, and so hard to choose a favorite. I'll take 'em all and fall in love! Thankyou Art!
