Have You Seen Me Lately? (Carly Simon)

Carly Simon's 1990 album Have You Seen Me Lately? spawned the hit "Better Not Tell Her." Many of the songs, directly or indirectly, deal with the idea of aging. It's an interesting album, ultimately enjoyable, yet perhaps not overall as rewarding as some of her others.

Recommended for those who already have a working familiarity with Simon and want to dig deeper. Not recommended for those just beginning to explore her work. (Start with a compilation or, if not there, one of these albums: No Secrets, Playing Possum, Come Upstairs, or Coming Around Again.)

Tracks:
1. Better Not Tell Her
2. Didn't I?
3. Have You Seen Me Lately?
4. Life Is Eternal
5. Waiting at the Gate
6. Happy Birthday
7. Holding Me Tonight
8. It's Not Like Him
9. Don't Wrap It Up
10. Fisherman's Song
11. We Just Got Here
