About
Carly Simon is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter Carly Simon, released by Elektra Records, on February 9, 1971. The album was produced by Eddie Kramer, who had previously worked with Joe Cocker and Jimi Hendrix, and included Simon's first Top 10 hit, "That's the Way I've Always Heard It Should Be", which earned her a nomination for the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 1972. A somber ballad centered on a woman pondering marriage with a sense of both inevitability and entrapment; the song was written by Simon and frequent collaborator Jacob Brackman. The album also earned Simon the Grammy Award for Best New Artist at the same ceremony. The album features material written by Simon, with additional writing by Brackman, Kramer, and Freddy Gardner, as well as covers of songs by Mark Klingman and Buzzy Linhart.
