Carly Simon - Songs From The Trees (A Musical Memoir Collection) (2015)

SONGS FROM THE TREES is a brand new 2-Disc Musical Companion to the legendary singer-songwriter’s long-awaited memoir and includes two unreleased tracks.

Her book ‘Boys In The Trees’ will be released a week after this collection.

With 31 tracks spread across two discs, the compilation spans a great deal of the award-winning artist’s stellar career, from her musical debut as half of The Simon Sisters performing folk songs with her sister Lucy in Greenwich Village, to her meteoric solo career, which yielded 13 top 40 hits, including the #1 song “You’re So Vain.”

Longtime fans will appreciate the inclusion of two unreleased tracks: “Showdown” originally recorded during the sessions for her 1978 album Boys in the Trees and “I Can’t Thank You Enough,” a brand new song written with her son Ben Taylor.

The compilation focuses primarily on the music Simon released during 1971 to 1983. Among the many highlights are: “That’s The Way I’ve Always Heard It Should Be,” from her self-titled, 1971 debut, “The Right Thing To Do,” from her first #1 album No Secrets (1972), “Mockingbird,” the gold-certified single she recorded with her then-husband and fellow singer-songwriter James Taylor, “From The Heart” from 1981’s Torch, as well as the title tracks from 1980’s Come Upstairs and 1983’s Hello Big Man.
