Description

"Anticipation" was Carly Simon's second album, the album cover showing Simon in her hippie chic outfit. Produced in 1971 it shows Simon further developing her songwriting skills. The title track, written about waiting for future husband James Taylor to show up for a date, has been diluted somewhat over the years because of all those Heinz ketchup commercials, but the second hit off of the album, "Legend in Your Own Time" better captures Simon at her best during this period. However, "I've Got to Have You" and "The Girl You Think You See" (co-written with Jacob Brackman) are the tracks that bestmore… represent Simon's strengths as a "confessional" singer/songwriter in the Seventies. These are songs that embraced vulnerability, not as a weakness, but as passionate strength. There is a tendency to see this as being a "feminist" perspective, and I am not totally sure about that. Clearly it embraces the feminine and redefines traditional elements as being strengths rather than weaknesses, which is at least compatible with the feminist perspective. It also made Simon's music accessible to those who were deal with the pain and promise of romance, which has it universal appeal as well. There is also a nice cover of Kris Kristofferson's "I've Got To Have You." Overall, "Anticipation" is an improvement on Simon's self-titled debut album, and really does set the stage for what was to happen with her 1972 smash album "No Secrets."
