Several weeks back, I mentioned the companion album collection of Carly Simon songs meant to sidle up next to Simon’s upcoming autobiography, Boys In The Trees: A Memoir. I knew of a date and a title, but nothing else. Now, I know a bit more including a look at the track-list.
To recap, on November 20, Rhino Records will deliver a 2CD, 31-track set titled Songs From The Trees: A Musical Memoir Collection that will precede the arrival of the book, scheduled for November 24.
Songs From The Trees will offer two CDs with selections drawn from her time with The Simon Sisters, and going up to her 3CD collection Box, Clouds In My Coffee (1995). In addition, this new set will give us two previously unreleased tracks (“Showdown”, “I Can’t Thank You Enough”). Also, I’m very pleased to note the inclusion of “My Friends Are More Than Fond Of Robin” from her excellent classic, No Secrets.
