Garfunkel & Garfunkel: Father And Son review: James was so keen to follow in his father's footsteps he changed his name to... Art, writes ADRIAN THRILLS
ADRIAN THRILLS: Now 83, Art Garfunkels re-booting his career with a new musical partner... his 33-year-old son Art Garfunkel Jr.
The younger Garfunkel, who was born James but changed his name to Art, can't pace a song with the same skill as Dad, but he's a talented vocalist who cut his teeth singing easy-listening pop in Germany, where he lives. The band had zig-zagged their way through a variety of styles since forming in Glasgow in 1982 — jangling guitar-pop; leather-trousered rock'n'roll; acid house-inspired psychedelia — but were drawing on their influences so blatantly that it was hard to take them seriously. Duetting with power and precision, the pair stick faithfully to the existing arrangements on Peter Gabriel's Solsbury Hill and Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street, while Take That's Rule The World remains a billowing ballad.
