| 14 of 14 people found the following review helpful  "Trees" with the strongest of roots, By This review is from: Boys in the Trees (Audio CD) Carly Simon's 1978 release "Boys in the Trees" showcases Carly in all of her incarnations: confessional singer/poet, inventive storyteller, torch singer and rock diva. Whatever your favorite Carly Simon song or approach, "Boys in the Trees" is guaranteed to please.Of course the best known track here is "You Belong to Me," a midtempo scorcher co-written with Michael McDonald. Elsewhere a Carole King influence serves her well on "Back Down to Earth," we find her at the height of her romantic powers on the sweet ballad "You're the One," and "One Man Woman" shows her hanging loose and shining in a bluesy rock setting. These are, however, classic Carly moments. The real finds on "Boys in the Trees" are when she (pardon the pun) branches out. "Tranquillo" finds Simon in a lightly funky disco setting; the Carribean-flavored "De Bat (Fly in Me Face)" is easily her quirkiest tune with clever, comic...

I was familiar with her hits to that point, but it had never occurred to me she might have an entire album's worth of memorable songs. "Boys In The Trees" made a very deep first impression on me....I played this album continuously for three solid months; these days the CD version sits prominently in my "heavy rotation" rack.Why the abject fanaticism? Put simply, this album "connected" with me like no other that Carly has released, with the possible exception of "Anticipation." Her original lyrics are a mix of searching poetry and plain-spoken observation. And while the production is typical of soft rock for the period, Carly's music here is flawless: melodic, hook-filled and dynamic Pop that anyone could appreciate. It's also a very personal recording, free of the pretensions and affectations that tend to color most "confessional"...

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. |
