Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0888072306622 Label: Hear Music Manufacturer: Hear Music MPN: 30662 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Hear Music Release Date: April 29, 2008 Studio: Hear Music Editorial Review: Album Description: Grammy Award-winner Carly Simon is one of the most respected vocalists and songwriters in music today. This Kind of Love ranks among her most personal albums, as well as one of her most stylistically diverse excursions, with songs ranging from gorgeous melodies to driving rhythms. This Kind of Love ranks among Simon's most personal albums as well as one of her most stylistically diverse excursions with songs ranging from gorgeous melodies to driving rhythms. The CD is co-produced by Simon, Frank Filipetti and Jimmy Webb who also wrote or co-wrote most of the arrangements. Filipetti worked his talent as the engineer as well as producer. The three first teamed up for Film Noir, Simon's album of standards that Webb produced in 1997. On This Kind of Love, Simon delivers 10 of her own songs (some of which she co-wrote), including the gently swaying title love song, the funky castigation of conniving celebrity-identity thieves ("People Say A Lot"), the catchy "How Could You Ever Forget" (one of Simon's personal favorites), the r&b-vibed "So Many People," the lyrical gem, "Sangre Dolce," and a waltz-time homage to her close friend, the humor columnist Art Buchwald, who passed in January 2007 ("Too Soon to Say Goodbye").

 Rating:  - THIS Is The KIND OF LOVE We've Been Waiting For!!I've got to admit....upon my first listen, I was less than thrilled with THIS KIND OF LOVE, Carly Simon's first album of all-new original material in eight years. Maybe it was all the advance hype, or my own (incredibly high) expectations. But then a funny thing happened...the album I heard on my second listen was not the album I heard on my first...and the album I heard on my fifth spin was not the same one as on my third. By the time I had a dozen or so listens under my belt, well, I had a whole ...

There are only two songs on this entire CD that I find bearable. I wish that she would quit trying to be so clever in her phrasing. It really borders on cacophony at times. Carly is in her mid sixties now, but that is really no excuse for the feeble vocals throughout this CD. She told Regis Philbin that she's been taking voice lessons for ...

I haven't listened to Carly in a long time and it was very enjoyable to listen to. Rating: - Carly Simon's JourneyThe last track on this cd is one of the most beautiful, moving pieces of song I have ever experienced. Simon's goodbye to her friend, Art Buchwald, "Too Soon To Say Goodbye" is extraordinary. I hadn't read the liner notes when I first heard it. I was doing yoga stretches. So I wasn't reading the lyrics either, and I froze as I listened. It is so simple; so hauntingly sad, and so undisguisedly difficult to sing without crying. To me, it is a marvel of generosity...the generosity of Simon's spirit...that ... Read More |
