Album Notes & Community Reviews

Showcasing immaculate acoustic fingerpicking and tightly intertwined vocal harmonies, the American folk-pop duo's eponymous debut was a hallmark of Elektra Records' early 70s roster. The deeply melodic, gently orchestrated arrangements perfectly frame their introspective songwriting, earning them an enduring cult following among fans of polished, Simon & Garfunkel-esque contemporary folk.
