Query: Carly Simon Fan in Virginia

I'm another Carly Simon fan who is disappointed with her most recent CD The Bedroom Tapes. This spring two of my favorite artists, Kathy Mattea and Carly Simon released new CD's. I listened to them both on the same day. Kathy Mattea's The Innocent Years is excellent. Kathy voices a wide range of emotion (from the deeply moving That's the Deal to the light hearted BFD and many in between)and connects with her listeners as she vocalizes a spiritual journey. A CD worth listening to time and again. In contrast, Carly's The Bedroom Tapes is a huge disappointment. I've listened to it twice and doubt I will be able to sit through it again. The songs seem disconnected and shallow. Carly has experienced some of life but her songs seem to come from some other place. I recommend purchasing Kathy Mattea's The Innocent Years and holding out hope that Carly will find her voice again.
