Legacy have set an August 28th release date for Art Grafunkel's "The Singer" which features 34-songs that were hand-picked by Art. They sent over these details:The two-CD retrospective spans a life's body of work from the first Simon & Garfunkel album of 1964 (Wednesday Morning, 3 AM) through 2007's Great American Songbook album (Some Enchanted Evening) and continuing with two newly recorded performances for this release ("Lena" and "Long Way Home").
In addition to curating The Singer, Garfunkel provides his own personal track-by-track annotations, which appear in the booklet in his handwritten form. The notes are as unique as Garfunkel himself.
