Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme is the third studio album by American music duo Simon & Garfunkel. Produced by Bob Johnston, the album was released on October 24, 1966 in the United States by Columbia Records. Following the success of their debut single "The Sound of Silence", Simon & Garfunkel regrouped after a time apart while Columbia issued their second album, a rushed collection titled Sounds of Silence. For their third album, the duo spent almost three months in the studio, for the first time extending a perfectionist nature both in terms of instrumentation and production. - WIKIPEDIA
Critic Reviews

BBC
2009 - Over 40 years on, while the albums of many contemporaries (Joan Baez, Donovan, The Lovin’ Spoonful) seem like museum pieces, the boldest themes of Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme are still worryingly pertinent today.

Classic Rock Rreview
this album would be their commercial and artistic breakthrough which would launch them into international stardom through the rest of the 1960s.

ALL MUSIC
Overall, Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme was the duo's album about youthful exuberance and alienation, and it proved perennially popular among older, more thoughtful high-school students and legions of college audiences across generations.

2013 - Words cannot describe how brilliant this album is from front to back. One of Simon and Garfunkel's greatest accomplishments.

ENTERTAINMENT FOCUS
it’s not Simon & Garfunkel at their most brilliant, polished and compelling.

A worthwhile purchase by all means, but still, give me Sounds Of Silence over this stuff any time of day.

APHORISTIC ALBUM REVIEWS
the first Simon and Garfunkel album that feels fully realized.
-
Countdownkid
It’s a bit of a bumpy ride at times, but what emerges into is Simon’s consistent attack on the facades that hide the dark sides of seemingly innocuous and even pleasurable parts of life: advertising, weather, folk songs, relationships, even Christmas carols.

Adrian Denning
This is an album bookened by Scarborough Fair and 'Silent Night' with some juicy morsels inbetween yet you still couldn't claim Simon And Garfunkel had made a consistently satisfying set of songs from beginning to end.
-
Mark Prindle
This record might at first seem superior to the last one; it's a much more mature work, full of ironic social humor, extremely well-developed folk pop tunes, perplexing harmonies, and oh, you know - just overall maturity.

Wilson & Alroy's Record Reviews
too many mediocre ballads.

2008- Forget ‘The Spice Girls’: I’m a Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme man with Simon and Garfunkel at their absolute peak.
