Song for the Asking ★★★Quoted from web reviews: Listening to the original songs included here brings back memories of listening to them on LP records decades ago. Or rather, it might be more accurate to say they were a constant presence on late-night radio broadcasts. You can't help but feel the power of their songs. It seems to be a CD compiled uniquely for Japan, but it has the appearance of a best-of album. Their wonderful voices can be heard along with their famous songs. Listening to their two voices, I remembered learning the lyrics while looking at the sheet music for "The Boxer," which was a hit. It was around 1969. Hearing their transparent duet, I felt a sense of familiarity, as if anyone could copy it if they had a guitar. In Japan, it was a time when Kansai folk music was emerging, and university disputes were intensifying in society. Ignoring the hustle and bustle of the world, their voices quietly resonated with young people in Japan. It's strange, but the music seems to carry even the atmosphere of that era. I perceived that music as music of stillness. "The Sound of Silence" and "Scarborough Fair/Canticle" alike. Amidst the storm of opposition to the Vietnam War in the United States, they were a group that consistently sent out strong messages. I believe that by listening to the 20 songs included here, you will understand their appeal. The beauty of the songs is unparalleled.
