Great album!

The most memorable song from this album is YOU BELONG TO ME which Carly Simon co-wrote with ex-Doobie Brother Michael McDonald. The Doobies first recorded the song for their LIVIN' ON THE FAULT LINE album,released in 1977 with of course,McDonald taking the lead. In fact YBTM was the only Top 20 hit from this album. Around this time,Simon's contract with Elektra records was nearing expiration and was never renewed. Instead,she got a new contract with Warner Bros. and stayed with that label for three or four years. Simon's former husband James Taylor used to record on WB before he shifted to Columbia where he still is today. Simon had so many great Elektra labelmates such as Queen,Bread and Harry Chapin. As for the other songs on this album,they're good.

A Carly Simon Classic, her best album I believe

This is in my opinion Carly Simon at her peak. Her best album ever I think. Every song is a timeless classic and her voice is excellent and crystal clear. The musicians that played on this album are also very good adding their own classic touch with their instruments in the background and letting Carly's voice take center stage as it should be. James Taylor who at this time was still married to Carly also lends his unique and soulful voice and guitar to this classic album.

"You Belong To Me" is a soulful classic even to this day which is still being played on FM radio. Carly co-wrote this song with Doobie Brothers lead singer and keyboard player Michael McDonald.
Every song on this CD deserves honorable mention because they are all great. After this album was release in 1978, Carly Simon never achieved the same level of success in her recordings and has never recorded another album as superior as this one. She still is a great songwriter and fine singer but she is definately not what she used to be. In the 1970's I don't think there was another female singer more successful than Carly. There was Linda Ronstadt and Joni Mitchell as well as Carole King and Phoebe Snow and Olivia Newton John but Carly was always ahead of all of them. For what is worth for Carly fans that like to remember her when she was in her prime both as a singer and songwriter this album is the best of its kind and should be included in the music collection of not only her fans but anyone in general who appreciates beautiful music that was back then in 1978, ahead of its time.

this is carly's best in my opinion

Ilove this CD the music, the grammy awarded album cover, the
production and most of all Carly's voice. This is a very soulful
CD "You Belong To Me' was the hit off the album. "Boys in the Trees" is one of Carly's most beautiful songs. Other standouts
are "back down to earth",Tranquillo(melt my heart)- a song written for Carly's son Ben. If you love Carly Simon you must
own this CD. In the 70's on elektra there was Carly Simon making
hits. linda Ronstadt was making a career on Asylum records a
part of elektra. Linda has a great voice-but Carly was writing
her own music and playing various instuments. Every song on this
CD is a classic
