Product Description

Amazon.co.jp

   カーリー・サイモンは、出版社サイモン&シャスターの跡取り娘として生まれ、10代後半と20代前半をマンハッタンのフォーク・クラブで姉のルーシーと演奏することに費やすが、それに飽きると、時たまジェット機に乗ってフランスに出かけるという生活を送っていた。1966年、サイモンはボブ・ディランのマネージャー、アルバート・グロスマンの目に留まる。グロスマンはサイモンを女性版ディランとして売り出そうとした。その作戦は失敗に終わり、代わりにサイモンは心地よいカントリー風MORのシンガーとして1970年代のほとんどを送ることになる。

   サイモンのキャリアには輝かしいハイライトが2度あった。最初は1973年の「You're So Vain」。ディランの「Like A Rolling Stone」以来、人をこきおろしたものとしては最高の歌が録音されたのだ。別れた恋人の二重生活ぶりを容赦なく攻撃した内容で、歌詞の最初の行では“ヨット”、“アプリコット”、“ガヴォット”と韻を踏んでいく。2番目は――耳当たりはいいがパッとしなかった007映画の主題歌は除くとして――その9年後の「Why」。ナイル・ロジャースとバーナード・エドワーズというシックのチームがプロデュースした、すさまじくキャッチーなディスコ/レゲエで、後にア・トリビュート・コールド・クエストがサンプルした。

   これ以上のことは誰にもできない(Nobody does it better)という言い方は正確とはいえない――何よりまずキャロル・キングが、次にジョニ・ミッチェルがいるのだから。しかし、こういう自画自賛的なコレクションも悪くないなと思わせてくれる歌が、ここには少なくとも2曲ある。(Simon Price, Amazon.co.uk)



From Amazon.co.uk

Carly Simon, heiress to the Simon & Schuster publishing house, spent her late teens and early twenties playing Manhattan folk clubs with her sister Lucy, and when that began to pall, occasionally jet-setting off to live in France. In 1966, she was discovered by Bob Dylan's manager Albert Grossman, who attempted to market her as the female Bob. It never quite worked, although she spent most of the Seventies turning out a comforting strain of country-tinged MOR.

Her career had two shining highlights, the first coming in 1973. "You're So Vain", the finest put-down committed to tape since Dylan's own "Like A Rolling Stone", mercilessly attacked the duplicitous lifestyle of a former lover, finding time in the first verse to rhyme "yacht" with "apricot" with "gavotte". The second--discounting her pleasant but unspectacular Bond theme--came nine years later. "Why", a maddeningly catchy piece of disco/reggae produced by the Chic team of Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards, was later sampled by A Tribe Called Quest.

Nobody does it better isn't strictly accurate--Carole King does for one, Joni Mitchell for two--but there are at least two songs here that should grace every self-respecting record collection. --Simon Price
