This new album Never Been Gone revisits songs originally written throughout Carly Simon’s extensively long and productive career. The CD was recorded at home and consists of new largely acoustic versions of Carly’s biggest hits and two brand new tracks.

Carly’s son, Benjamin Taylor was the originator of the idea and Carly willingly (though, sometimes
hesitatingly) complied and lived up to the dare. Benjamin, and the rest of the producers, known as
“Paphiopedilium,” chose the songs, most of which were Carly’s best-known and commercially successful.
In the CDs generous liner notes is an explanation not only of the word, “Paphiopedilium,” but an
explanation of the reworking of each of the songs. Carly hopes that even without these notes the music will speak for itself.
Says Simon, “It was a revelation to me that these lyrics and melodies were so innocent of age and experience when I composed them back when.

Never Been Gone includes “You’re So Vain,” “Coming Around Again,” “Anticipation,” “Let The
Riverrun,” “You Belong To Me,” “That’s The Way I’ve Always Heard It Should Be,” “It Happens Every Day,” “Never Been Gone,” “Boys In The Trees” and “The Right Thing To Do,” along with new songs “No Freedom” and “Songbird.”
