Songs from the Trees

Songs From The Trees (A Musical Memoir Collection) is a two-disc set by American singer-songwriter Carly Simon, released on November 20, 2015, as a tie-in to her autobiography, Boys in the Trees: A Memoir. It contains newly remastered versions of songs from Simon's career, ranging from 1964's "Winkin', Blinkin', and Nod" (as The Simon Sisters), through 1987's "Two Hot Girls (On a Hot Summer Night)" from the album Coming Around Again. The collection also includes two previously unreleased songs, "Showdown" (originally recorded during the sessions for her 1978 album Boys in the Trees) and "I Can’t Thank You Enough", a brand new song written and performed with her son Ben Taylor.
