 (3 Customer Reviews)
The album's other highlights are an atypical pair. The samba-like "Summer's Coming Around Again," finds Simon cooing like a huskier Astrud Gilberto, and the oddly disturbing "Share the End," with its glissando piano runs and wailing vocals, sounds like a template for Tori Amos' entire career.
Carly Simon's second solo album, 1971's ANTICIPATION, went gold and spawned two hit singles in the title track and the lightly mocking "You're So Vain" precursor "Legend in Your Own Time." The acoustic confessionals "Our First Day Together" and "The Garden" show the extent to which Simon was still indebted to folks like Joni Mitchell, but fuller-bodied pop songs like "The Girl You Think You See," and a cover of Kris Kristofferson's "I've Got to Have You," point towards the fuller-bodied soft-rock tunes of future albums.
Personnel: Carly Simon (vocals, acoustic guitar, piano); Jim Ryan (acoustic & electric guitars, bass); Paul Glanz (piano); John Ryan (bass); Andy Newmark (percussion).
Rolling Stone (12/23/71, p.66) - "...I don't think Carly Simon wants anything to do with her image as the Woman of the Future...she...is a maturing musician who is a woman and who is making excellent music, and that should be enough for anyone.

An underrated album, thanks to its lack of hit singles, 1979's SPY is nonetheless one of the most intriguing items in Carly Simon's discography. Certainly it's her most rock & roll-oriented effort. Forgoing both the singer-songwriter folkiness of her earliest albums, and, to a lesser extent, the jazz-influenced melodic sophistication which first showed up in 1976's ANOTHER PASSENGER, SPY is a tough 'n' tender pop-rock record, the missing link between the Carpenters and the Pretenders.
The swaggering "Vengeance" is the highlight, a soulful rock song much more direct and believable than, say, Linda Ronstadt's "You're No Good." Elsewhere, the disco-tinged "Pure Sin" foreshadows the rock-disco crossover of the MTV era, and the lengthy "Memorial Day," which closes the album with an extended drum solo, recalls the stylistic experiments of Joni Mitchell's jazz-based MINGUS album. This is perhaps not the place to ...

A glowing, pregnant Carly Simon smiles out from the cover of Hotcakes, one of her biggest selling albums, which featured the gold single "Mockingbird," a duet with her husband James Taylor that effectively remade the old Inez and Charlie Foxx hit and bested it on the charts. The album also included another hit, "Haven't Got Time For The Pain," as well as "Misfit," in which a wife implores her carousing husband to come home, and "Think I'm Gonna Have A Baby," which celebrated the joys of same. With such tracks, Hotcakes was an autobiographical concept album that defined domestic bliss ...

Anticipation music CDs
$9.09
From the see-through skirt on the cover photo of 1971's ANTICIPATION onwards, Carly Simon has never minded showing off her body. However, the cover shot for 1975's PLAYING POSSUM--a photo to which the only possible response is "yowza"--is so provocative that in many folks' minds, it's eclipsed the album itself. This seems to have happened even to Simon--her three-disc career compilation CLOUDS IN MY COFFEE includes nothing from this hit album.
Simon's last album to be produced by mid-'70s hitmaker Richard Perry, PLAYING POSSUM does show why she chose to go into a new, more sonically adventurous direction with her next album, ANOTHER PASSENGER. It's not that PLAYING POSSUM is dull--the single "Attitude Dancing" is a minor gem, slight but awfully fun, as is "Are You Ticklish?"--just that Simon occasionally sounds as if she feels somewhat hemmed-in by Perry's arrangements. Regardless, this is terrific, underrated '70s pop.

The album kicks off with the minor classic "That's the Way I've Always Heard it Should Be," which features a character confessing ambivalence about getting married. This and the other nine songs' rich minor-key melodies and unabashedly personal, emotional lyrics hint at what would be Simon's stock in trade for the rest of her career. "Alone" and "One More Time" are particular standouts in this style. Though Simon would release more consistent albums (1972's NO SECRETS, for example), this self-titled maiden voyage was the one that started it all.

Carly Simon's third album, 1972's NO SECRETS, was her best-selling release ever, thanks to the inclusion of the huge hit single "You're So Vain." Speculation persists over the identity of the person so deftly skewered in this song (Simon's been quoted as saying that while there are ...

Terry Callier is one of the most respected artists of the latter part of last century: he recorded his first tracks during his early teens with the celebrated blues label, Chess Records, and he's still going strong today. `Lookin' Out'is his latest studio album. Recording the album trans-atlantically with two bands, one in Chicago and one in London, Callier embraces everything from soul to folk and he does it with the emphatic emotion he's perhaps best known for. `Lookin' Out' will include a complete rewrite of The Beatles' `And I Love Her', a reinterpretation of Dino Valente's `What About Me', and an emotional anti-war piece to name a few. Mr. Bongo Records. 2004.
Verve should have waited awhile before sending Terry Callier's American recording contract into the dumper. Lookin' Out is the record Callier has been looking to make since he resumed recording in the '90s. It's a sprawling, 17-track set that accents all of his strengths. including his trademark songwriting style that effortlessly blends folk, pop, soul, and jazz. Callier surrounds himself with fine players here, including but not limited to organist Chris Kibble, (who co-wrote a number of tunes here), bassist Eric Hochberg, pianist Mike Kocour, alternate drummer Jeff Thomas, Morris Jennings, and Kahari Parker, and percussionist Pennington McGee. The set begins with an intro to the album's recurring thematic piece "Truth in Tears," featuring Callier's falsetto an whispering baritone above brief and subtle wash of strings before it slides almost imperceptibly into "Jazz My Rhythm and Blues," with its smoky saxophones, McGee's hand drumming, and David Onderdonk's shimmering guitar work as it is kissed by Kocour's graceful piano. Callier is in full jazz vocal here, slipping between registers, alternately speaking and singing and crooning. "We R One," is a sweet, elegant, spiritual song that is ...
