WIN A CARLY SIMON CD! THREE COPIES TO GIVE AWAY


Carly Simon

Here's a chance to win a copy of the new Carly Simon album 'Never Been Gone'.

Never Been Gone is the Best Of Carly Simon's classic tracks re-recorded plus 2 brand new songs.

Carly Simon, one of the greatest songwriters, composers and performers of the past four decades, will return on 1 March 2010 with the release of new album 'Never Been Gone' released on Iris Records through Warner Music / Rhino UK.


'Never Been Gone' will bring the work of Carly Simon to a whole new generation, as she revisits songs originally written throughout her long and hugely successful career.

The album was recorded at her home in the U.S. on the island of Martha's Vineyard and features largely acoustic arrangements of Carly's greatest compositions such as 'You're So Vain', 'Let The River Run' and 'Right Thing To Do'.

Benjamin Taylor, Carly's son, was the originator of the idea and Carly willingly (though, sometimes hesitantly) complied and lived up to the challenge.

An explanation by Carly Simon of the reworking of each of the songs is included in the albums extensive liner notes, although Carly hopes that the music will speak for itself.

"I was encouraged by performing some of these songs on a promotional tour for the album This Kind Of Love, which was released a year ago. Ben, David (Saw), Peter (Calo), Larry (Ciancia) and I, with only the instruments in our hands, revised the songs: songs such as 'You're So Vain' and 'Anticipation.' They came out all different! It was a sport of sorts."

Right Thing To Do
It Happens Every Day
Never Been Gone
Boys In The Trees
Let The River Run
