I've been out of the writing and reviewing game for a while but I heard something the other day that is forcing me back in. In this edition of 'Two-for-Tuesday' (the Wednesday, June 27 edition) we listen to the greatest singing duo, S&G, and one of the best bands of the last decade, Mumford & Sons.
This isn't really a fair machup, but, it'll be interesting to see who wins. Technically, it's not even a true 'vs' since Paul Simon sings on the Mumford version but Mumford makes the song their own and inject their own flare enough to make it stand-out from the original.
Take a listen:
Simon & Garfunkel - The Boxer
Mumford & Sons - The Boxer

I vote for Simon and Garth, but Mumford holds their own.
I hadn't heard the Mumford and Sons rendition before and assumed I wouldn't like it. But, I really enjoyed the instrumentation (is that a word?)--is that a slide guitar? or a dobro? Still, it's hard to improve on S and G.
Ben, which version did the skunk prefer?
