Format:Audio CD
For nearly four decades, Carly Simon has been producing top-notch high quality songs. This `remastered' collection contains all of her best and its hard to argue about which succeeds better than others. From the achingly lamentable, "That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be" to the emotional anthem, "Let The River Run", Carly pulls no punches with her strong voice or slick arrangements. Few female singers have such a strong band or percussion backing them, which has proven to be a Carly Simon trademark. You may have had an overdose of some songs, "You're So Vain" or "Nobody Does It Better", but they are intensely catchy at the very least. There are two distinctly different duets here. James Taylor playfully counters with a `call/response' technique on "Mockingbird, but the real surprise is the country flavored "Amity" with Sally Taylor. It's all in the family and it all sounds fantastic!

I stumbled across this Carly Simon album on Amazon and snapped it up as soon as I saw it because it contained so many of my favourite childhood records (You're So Vain, Nobody Does it Better etc.). A brilliant album and worth every penny.

I bought this CD because I liked 3 or 4 of her hits (You're So Vain, Nobody Does It Better, Let the River Run) and wanted to hear her others. Some of the them are starting to grow on me, and overall a good collection.
If you're a big fan then obviously you'll think this collection is great. She has a great voice, but I wouldn't says I'm a big fan - just love the handful of works mentioned above.
Happy to have bought this and would recommend it. Suggest you try to listen to the tracks first for a taster (you can hear 30 sec samples on the amazon.com site).

Good car music
I like the selection on this cd but only really like about three songs which I have on repeat play and sing happily along to. Good car music.
