〕 }} ''Coming Around Again'' is singer-songwriter Carly Simon's 14th album, and 13th studio album, released in 1987. It is her first of many albums for Arista Records. The title track was written for and featured, along with "Itsy Bitsy Spider", in the 1986 film ''Heartburn''. The title song peaked at #18 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, becoming Simon's twelfth Top 40 hit in the USA. Additionally, it was a top 10 hit in the UK. The album itself reached #25 in both the US and the UK. It was certified ''Silver'' by the BPI in September 1987, and ''Platinum'' by the RIAA in early 1988. It has since sold nearly two million copies in the US. Shortly after the album's release, a live outdoor concert also entitled "Carly Simon - Coming Around Again" was recorded in June 1987 on Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts for HBO, and later released on video. On a pier in front of an invited audience, Simon and her band performed most of the songs from the album as well some of her older hits. The concert was also released as a live album in 1988 entitled ''Greatest Hits Live'', and has also since been released on DVD as ''Live From Martha's Vineyard''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://web.archive.org/web/20040615234422/http://www.carlysimon.com/music/mv/LiveFromMV.shtml )〕 ==Critical Reception== Writing for ''Rolling Stone'', Rob Hoerburger gave a positive review of the album and wrote, "Coming Around Again is a strong reminder of how refreshing a diversion Carly Simon can be". ''People'' was also positive, "Simon remains, even after all this emotional turmoil, perhaps the most interesting of women pop singers. This album, proves she is still captivating." Stephen Holden, writing for ''The New York Times'', stated, "Coming Around Again, the latest and one of the strongest chapters in a growing catalogue, embodies everything that the 41-year-old singer-songwriter does best. Of all the confessional singer-songwriters who emerged out of the 60's counterculture to confide their personal feelings in recorded pop song cycles, she has been one of only a handful to sustain a major label recording career of such duration. And of that handful, she has stayed the closest to the personal confessional mode." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Coming Around Again (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
