Carly at crossroads

As an avid Carly fan I bought this album when it first came out and loved it, of course. Several years later I was at a Target store and was in line to pay and there was a rack of CDs...at the checkout. Hello Big Man was right in front! I'm the sort of person that doesn't buy the one "in front" but there was only one copy so I grabbed it. It has been a staple in my car CD player ever since. I love "You Know What To Do" with its erotic bass line and also because of the sexy video Carly put out for the song. I have that on tape still. "Menemsha" is probably one of the most beautiful songs Carly has ever recorded. My favorite song on this album is "Damn You Get To Me", with its single acoustic guitar opening and the sing-along ending. The lyrics can send chills down my spine if I'm in the right (wrong?) mood. "It Happens Everyday" & "You Don't Feel The Same" are two more songs along this same relationship-in-trouble vein. I love the playfulness of "Is This Love", "Such A Good Boy" & "Floundering". The title tune, starting with a budding romance and flowing into a lifelong marriage, is the masterpiece on this CD, however, mainly because the subject is Carly's parents, so naturally her heart is poured into this track. Not that it isn't poured into every other track, as well. All of Carly's music is very personal and "from the heart" and any listener with an open heart can't help but be touched by her talent.

I was so excited the first time I heard "You know what to do"played on the radio,and waited up all night to see the video played on MTV.I thought for sure this cut would be a huge hit."Hello Big Man" was the second single released,about the romance of Carly's Mom and Dad,and how they met,and Carly's Mother was in the video.There are so many great songs on this CD,with different sounds and beutifull ballads,"It happens everyday," about the end of Carly and James,"(You use to adore me)such a sad line about the first couple of rock and roll."Menemsha"another beutifull number. "Hello Big Man is a must have for your Carly Simon collection.
