Simon和Garfunkel的第三张专辑,只要听过这两位牛人的那首无敌的Scarborough Fair,对这句Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme就不会陌生,不过推出这张专辑的时候,他们俩还很不出名,所以并不热卖,1968年的那部《毕业生》,让Scarborough Fair成为脍炙人口的经典歌曲。
这张专辑在滚石杂志选出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第201位。
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme, released October 1966, is the third album by Simon & Garfunkel. It was produced by Bob Johnston, and Rolling Stone magazine co-founder Ralph J. Gleason provided the liner notes. The name comes from the second line of the album's first track, "Scarborough Fair/Canticle". The album peaked on the U.S. charts at #4.
The closing track, "7 O'Clock News/Silent Night," includes a news bulletin mixed in with the music. The bulletin reports the death of Lenny Bruce, the indictment of mass-murderer Richard Speck, and the calling out of the National Guard in response to civil protests.
The album was included on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. The album, in its entirety, is part of the Simon & Garfunkel box sets Collected Works and The Columbia Studio Recordings (1964–1970).
