Across America (album)
Across America is a live album by American singer Art Garfunkel. It is the only official live recording he has released. The album was recorded over three evenings between 17 and 19 September 1996 on Ellis Island, New York.
It was released to celebrate the ending of his 12-year Walk Across America.
Reception
The Allmusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine awarded the album 2 stars stating "Art Garfunkel returned to recording in 1997 with Across America, a live album intended to commemorate his walk across America. Composed largely of oldies, the record is a pleasant enough nostalgia trip, but it doesn't have enough distinguished performances (a version of "The 52nd Street Bridge Song" sung with his six-year-old son is notable, but it certainly isn't accomplished) to make the record a worthy addition even to the collections of devoted fans.
