It goes on the "take to the desert island" list

"I really like this album a lot. It must have been difficult for Harper to try to step out of his Dad's shadow, and I think he has done that with this endeavor. Some of the songs sound more like Simon and Garfunkel. It is a very melodic and beautifully recorded CD. It would be on my list for the "desert island"."

"I was most curious to see how Harper's efforts would compare with his famous father; to learn if he'd been able to meet the expected quality standards, yet put his own clear stamp on the music - and just what type of music had he chosen to make. He has done extremely well! The music constantly reminds me of the best of the 60's (Simon & Garfunkel, of course, but also Buffalo Springfield and others), with interesting and clearly understandable lyrics, yet has a strong contemporary sound. It's an interesting blend of folk, contemporary country, and intelligent rock. It's become our most frequently played CD! I've bought 3 copies - one for the home system, one for the car, and one for a friend, who is also quite positive about it."

There's a new Simon in my iPod.

"What can I say...this is such a great album. Just like the senior Simon, not a dud on the disc, the whole album is spectacular. Harper has so many great musicians playing on this disc. Some of them also played with Simon & Garfunkel, and Bob Johnston the producer, produced S&G and Dylan and many other great artists. I had a chance to see Harper sing this CD in NYC last month and I must say, he is equally good on stage as he is on the CD. My favorite tracks are Berkeley Girl and Tennessee. Go out and buy this CD!!"
