Boys in the Trees Reviews:
An amazing album 
2009-06-16 - At first, I would hear The Doobie Brothers version of "You Belong to Me" from their 1977's "Livin' on the Fault Line". Then, Carly Simon record her version one year later and founded out that Sax player David Sanborn did the solo of it. Now that I realized that Carly Simon has hired the top Jazz musicians for her 1978's "Boys in the Trees". My sister was too excited to hear "You Belong to Me" because Carly's version was a whole lot better than the Doobie Brothers' version. In Michael McDonald words like "Tell Him!, Tell Him You were foolin'" "Ah! Girl, you belong to me", "Tell him, he's a stranger". Carly's words were "Tell her you were foolin'", "You don't even know her", "Tell her I love you". Ever since Michael and Carly wrote the song. Michael would record it, first. Then, Carly would record it for her 1978's "Boys in the Trees" album.
a perfect album

of an age
2008-08-13 - I grew up with Carly Simon's music. Now 60, I still appreciate the lyrics and her wonderful voice. She is the epitome of grace and humor, as a recent encounter in NYC proved. I was speechless for a moment but was able to tell her how much her music has always appealed to me. "Boys in the Trees" qualifies for an all-time masterpiece!
De Bat Is De Good 
2008-06-26 - I have been on a quest to get all of Carly's old albums on CD, and the collection keeps going up with this latest addition.
The first CD I bought of hers when I decided I loved her was 1975's Playing Possum and it has still been my favorite, followed closely by 1979's Spy and 1974's Hotcakes, but running around in there would be this 1978 effort which featured her hit "You Belong To Me" - a Michael McDonald co-write which brought her back to the top 10.
The rest of the album is just as clever and meaningful as anything she had done before, probably her last collaboration with James Taylor as they would divorce a few years later, Boys In The Trees contains their duet "Devoted To You" (an old 60's Everly Brothers song), and a hilarious Jamaiccan reggae thing called "De Bat (Fly In Me Face)", and some other little gems. If you're looking for classic Carly, this is one to get your hands on.
