Bridge Over Troubled Water has sold over 25-million copies worldwide and was one of the biggest-

 

selling albums of its decade, topping the charts world-wide including 33 weeks at #1 and six years in

 

the chart in the UK alone. Perhaps the most delicately textured album to close out the 1960s from

 

any major rock act, Bridge Over Troubled Water, at its most ambitious and bold, was a quietly

 

reassuring album; at other times, it was personal yet soothing; and at other times still, it was just plain

 

fun.

 

It was certainly their most musically ambitious, with "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and "The Boxer"

 

employing thundering drums and tasteful orchestration, and "Cecilia" marking one of Simon's first

 

forays into world music rhythms. It also caught the confused, reflective tenor of the times better than

 

almost any other popular release of 1970. Celebrating the 40th anniversary of this remarkable record,

 

this is a brand new 2CD/DVD configuration. On the DVD is Songs Of America (originally broadcast

 

on CBS, this TV special is comprised of footage of the 1969 tour. Songs of America has never

 

before been commercially available since it’s 1969 broadcast which TV sponsors refused to endorse

 

because of its distinct anti- Vietnam War message) and a brand new documentary about the making

 

of Bridge Over Troubled Water, featuring new 2010 interviews with Paul Simon, Art Garfunkel, Roy

 

Halee and more key principles involved with making of the album.

 

The massive commercial success of Bridge Over Troubled Water -- it topped the charts for ten

 

weeks, won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year, included four hit singles, and has sold more

 

than five million copies in the U.S. -- tends to exaggerate its significance in the Simon & Garfunkel

 

catalog. Actually, it's a step down from the masterpiece of Bookends, containing some filler, such as

 

the comic if slight "Baby Driver" and the pleasant if inessential live cover of the Everly Brothers'

 

"Bye Bye Love"; it also lacks the previous album's musical and thematic unity. Still, one is admittedly

 

splitting hairs when talking about an album that contains such classics as the title song and "The

 

Boxer," as well as such notable tunes as "Cecilia," "El Condor Pasa," and "So Long, Frank Lloyd

 

Wright." This is Simon & Garfunkel's most popular album because it legitimately spoke to its

 

audience, and much of it continues to set standards in thoughtful pop music decades later. [The 40th

 

Anniversary Edition of Bridge Over Troubled Water adds little in the way of music -- indeed, it strips

 

away the two bonus tracks (“Feuilles-O” and an alternate “Bridge Over Trouble Water”) added to the

 

2001 remaster of the classic -- but there is a handsome booklet and an additional DVD that contains

 

the CBS television special Songs of America, a documentary of Simon & Garfunkel’s 1969 tour

 

never rebroadcast since its original airing, as well as a new documentary about the making of the

 

album.]
