Description
Carly Simons third album, 1972s NO SECRETS, was her best-selling release ever, thanks to the inclusion of the huge hit single Youre So Vain. Speculation persists over the identity of the person so deftly skewered in this song (Simons been quoted as saying that while theres elements of various people in the lyrics, theres nothing there that isnt true of Warren Beatty), to such an extent that the excellence of the rest of the album is often overlooked. Besides the gospel-tinged hit The Right Thing to Do and a moving tribute to the Carter Family, We Have No Secrets is a confessional delight, and Waited So Long and James Taylors Night Owl are two of the most rocking songs Simon ever recorded. Exquisitely produced and smartly sequenced, NO SECRETS has just the right balance of slick studio polish and soulful rough edges to make this a classic of 70s singer-songwriter pop.
