My review

I’m generally familiar with Carly Simon and the song You’re So Vain, but I’ve never listened to this record.

Singer-songwriter, soft rock.

This was a pretty bad record, mostly easy listening.

Night Owl, a bluesy cover of a James Taylor song, was about ten thousand times better than his version, which was awful.

You’re So Vain was catchy, and had maybe a bit more of a country sound than I remembered it having, but I think it was probably too clever by half.

Waited So Long and It Was So Easy also sounded slightly country, and the latter was the best song on the record.

2/5: weak, but I was able to listen to the whole thing
