. Legacy have set an August 28th release date for Art Grafunkel's "The Singer" which features 34-songs that were hand-picked by Art. They sent over these details:

The two-CD retrospective spans a life's body of work from the first Simon & Garfunkel album of 1964 (Wednesday Morning, 3 AM) through 2007's Great American Songbook album (Some Enchanted Evening) and continuing with two newly recorded performances for this release ("Lena" and "Long Way Home").
