My Romance	Boys in the Trees Great collection at a great price.	Film Noir Given its title and tone, this record is apparently an attempt to reflect the mood and feel of classic film noir through a musical medium, which it succeeds at admirably. It helps that Simon's coproducer for the project was renowned songwriter and arranger Jimmy Webb, whose own m...

Shame on those who gave a bad review....how could you?
Simon released this phenomenal work of art way before the "cover" album became the norm. Her voice has so much range and emotion that it's almost a little too heartbreaking to listen to. Two songs in particular: "I Get Along Without You Very Well" and "What Shall We Do With the Child" evoke a sadness that becomes so haunting you wonder who the hell hurt her so badly. All the songs are sung as if she is in an empty theater, her voice echoing in solitude. But these songs with this kind of singer doesn't happen very often. Don't let another day go by without it. By the way, does anyone know who the gorgeous blonde/brad pitt before his time actor Carly is clutching to on the album cover? I know, and i'd be singing songs like these if he passed me by too.

stopped buying her albums after this one
i liked the first 4 sung notes of "The Blue of Blue" but hated the rest of this album. after this one, i lost momentum, and never bought another carly simon album. except for her 1st one, all the albums prior to this were such winners; i was such a fan. not that i don't like old fogey music--i do--but i don't think it fits her. hotcakes, another passenger, boys in the trees, anticipation, spy i loved to death. but not this. i wouldn't waste your money unless you try the samples here and it strikes you better than it did me. sorry, carly.

Beautiful Music Straight From the Heart!
Using Classic Torch as a vehicle, Carly shows her audience the pain of the public divorce she was going through. So full of emotion, one could weep with her. Possibly only those of us who have experienced divorce with small children could have the deep understanding of the tragedy that was enveloping her. My love to her--- Beautiful album with wonderful musical accompaniment!
