Debut solo studio album by the American singer-songwriter. Simon recorded the album at Levy's Recording Studio, 73 New Bond Street, London, over several dates in June 1965. Two songs ('The Sound of Silence' and 'He Was My Brother') were re-recordings of songs originally found on Simon & Garfunkel's debut album 'Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M.'. Of the remaining songs, all but two ('A Church is Burning' and 'The Side of a Hill', although portions of the latter were included as the 'Canticle' portion of 'Scarborough Fair') would be subsequently re-recorded in studio versions by Simon & Garfunkel.
