By bandweblogs on Feb 22, 2010 in Albums, Music News, New Releases | Tags: Ben Taylor, Carly Simon, Track Listings
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".
