When Paul Simon fled New York for England in the early '60s, he was leaving behind a former life as part of doo-wop duo Tom and Jerry in search of a more sophisticated folk sound, following the trend for intelligent collegiate types at the time. In England he met and was affected by progressive folkies like Jackson C. Frank and Davy Graham, and developed his own sound. Simon & Garfunkel's debut album captures a couple of young, often cerebral, unfailingly earnest singers trying to create something new under the sun. The combination of creatively arranged folk standards and embryonic Simon originals sounds somewhat naive now, but is still affecting. The standout is the tune that--in a rearranged version on their next album, announcing the arrival of folk-rock--would make them stars and help set their musical course: the first great alienation anthem, "The Sounds of Silence."
