Análisis (en inglés) - :
As a duo and as solo singers, {$Paul Simon} and {$Art Garfunkel} released more than a dozen singles under various pseudonyms between the fall of 1957, when the two 16-year-olds made their recording debut as {$Tom & Jerry} with the chart entry {&"Hey, Schoolgirl,"} and the release of their major label debut as {$Simon & Garfunkel}, {^Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M.}, seven years later. At 21 tracks, this British compilation presents the most complete collection of that material yet released legitimately, though songs from eight singles are missing, not to mention the work {$Simon} did in groups like {$Tico & the Triumphs}. Due to legal complications, a "comprehensive round-up of early {$Paul Simon} miscellany would be impossible," writes annotator {%Sean Egan}. Indeed, given {$Simon}'s tendency to suppress parts of his career he prefers not to remember, from the 1965 solo album {^The Paul Simon Songbook} to the 1998 original Broadway cast album for {^The Capeman}, it's amazing that {^Two Can Dream Alone} exists at all. The first thing to note about it, of course, is that the music bears little resemblance to {$Simon & Garfunkel}'s {\folk-rock} recordings of 1964-1970. {&"Hey, Schoolgirl,"} originally released on {@Big Records}, is in an {$Everly Brothers}/{$Buddy Holly} mold, and the duo's unsuccessful follow-ups, {&"Our Song"} and {&"That's My Story,"} are in that style, too, while {$Simon}'s first solo single, {&"True or False,"} released under the name {$True Taylor}, finds him aping the hiccupping {\rockabilly} sound of {$Holly} and {$Elvis Presley}. The failure of the later {$Tom & Jerry} singles led the two to split up, with {$Simon} retaining the name {$Jerry Landis} and {$Garfunkel} recording as {$Artie Garr}. By the end of the '50s, both had moved toward a {\soft rock}/{\teen pop} style, in keeping with the softening of {\rock & roll} in the era. On songs like {&"Shy"} and {&"Just a Boy,"} released on either side of a {@Warwick Records} single in 1960, {$Simon} clearly was aspiring to be another {$Frankie Avalon}, and listeners are fortunate that he didn't make it. In keeping with the more gimmicky sound of the early '60s, he moved on to up-tempo novelties like {&"The Lone Teen Ranger,"} which actually made the charts in early 1963. But then {$Simon} discovered the {\folk} boom, and his writing and performing style changed drastically. The material on this album is likely to fascinate as well as flabbergast fans of {$Simon & Garfunkel}'s later recordings. No small part of the fascination will be that {$Garfunkel} wrote a lot of this material as well as singing it, since he dropped out of songwriting later on. It should be noted, too, that some of this material is of questionable origin. {&"I Love You (Oh Yes I Do)"} and {&"A Soldier & a Song,"} neither of which seem to have been released before, don't sound like {$Garfunkel}, though he is credited as the singer. And there are two instrumentals, {&"Tia-Juana Blues"} and the jazzy {&"Simon Says,"} that first appeared on records released in 1966 in the wake of {$Simon & Garfunkel}'s commercial breakthrough and are probably more the work of {$Simon}'s father, {$Louis Simon}, than the duo. It would be nice to have a complete collection of {$Simon & Garfunkel}'s juvenilia sequenced in chronological order, but this partial selection may be the best to be expected, and the duo's fans may enjoy hearing their youthful efforts, as long as they don't buy it expecting work of the caliber of {&"The Sound of Silence."} ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide
