Across America is the only live album by American singer Art Garfunkel. It is the only official live recording he has released. The album was recorded live over two evenings - 12 and 13 April 1996 in The Registry Hall at Ellis Island, New York.
It was released to celebrate the ending of his 12-year Walk Across America. The U.K. version of the album contains the additional track "I Only Have Eyes For You".
A 2-disc, 19 track version was released as a freebie in the U.K. via The Mail On Sunday newspaper as "The Very Best Of Art Garfunkel Across America" that includes the 17 tracks listed below in a slightly different order with 2 additional tracks: "America", & "Cecilia".
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.
