Description
Breakaway is the second solo studio album by Art Garfunkel. It was released in 1975 on Columbia Records. It was produced by Richard Perry who has produced albums for other artists such as Carly Simonand Ringo Starr.
This second solo album sounds every bit as fresh as it did when it was released in 1975. This is Art Garfunkel at his most romantic, lush best and he hits every song, every note, beautifully. Songwriters like Antônio Carlos Jobim, Stephen Bishop, Stevie Wonder, Gallagher & Lyle, Bruce Johnston to name a few, provide words and melodies that very much complement his one of a kind voice. Tracks like “My Little Town”, a Paul Simon tune, they sing together. “I Only Have Eyes For You” is a song originally from 1934 and thanks to Andrew Gold’s excellent musicianship and Stephen Bishop’s backing vocals they create gorgeous version of this song. The album is produced by Richard Perry and backed by a.o. Steve Cropper, Crosby & Nash, Klaus Voormann, and Nicky Hopkins.
