I grew up with Carly Simon's music. Now 60, I still appreciate the lyrics and her wonderful voice. She is the epitome of grace and humor, as a recenter encounter in NYC proved. I was speechless for a moment but was able to tell her how much her music has always appealed to me. "Boys in the Trees" qualifies for an all-time masterpiece!

I have been on a quest to get all of Carly's old albums on CD, and the collection keeps going up with this latest addition.
The first CD I bought of hers when I decided I loved her was 1975's Playing Possum and it has still been my favorite, followed closely by 1979's Spy and 1974's Hotcakes, but running around in there would be this 1978 effort which featured her hit "You Belong To Me" - a Michael McDonald co-write which brought her back to the top 10.
The rest of the album is just as clever and meaningful as anything she had done before, probably her last collaboration with James Taylor as they would divorce a few years later, Boys In The Trees contains their duet "Devoted To You" (an old 60's Everly Brothers song), and a hilarious Jamaiccan reggae thing called "De Bat (Fly In Me Face)", and some other little gems. If you're looking for classic Carly, this is one to get your hands on.

Carly has long been known for two things; great music, and great album covers. This album has both. There is a line between "sexy" and "provocative"; where this one falls is truly in the eye of the beholder. There is a story, maybe apocryphal, that this picture provided the inspiration for Sharon Stone's famous scene in "Basic Instinct". Maybe...there are several stories about that.
Forgetting the jacket [impossible, I know], this album presents Carly in her absolute prime. Speaking as an overage guy judging sexy album covers, I think "Hotcakes" tops them all. Musically, this is as good as it gets..."You Belong To Me" and the title cut are memorable; interesting idea in the closing cut...it may be best to avoid doing some things "For Old Time's Sake". This is a fabulous record...buy it, and enjoy.

Has there ever been a greater Chick song than "Boys in the Trees"? All the music is wonderful and brings back great 70s memories.
