Carly Simon – Hello Big Man (1983/2015) [HDTracks FLAC 24bit/192kHz]

“Hello Big Man” is singer-songwriter Carly Simon’s eleventh studio album, originally released in 1983. It is also her last album for Warner Bros. Records. It was a commercial disappointment upon release, despite a positive reception from critics. The album featured Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare on a number of tracks, including one Bob Marley cover. The title of the album is an allude to the reply that Simon’s mother, Andrea Simon, gave to her father, Richard Simon, when they first met. He said “hello little woman”, and she replied “hello big man”.

Hello Big Man, Carly Simon’s first new studio album of original material in more than three years, followed on from her 1981 album of standards, Torch, and the British Top Ten success of her collaboration with Chic, “Why.” Both experiences (plus, perhaps, her 1980 hit “Jesse”) seemed to have reinvigorated her taste in pop music, if Hello Big Man was any indication. The sound was a return to the style of Anticipation and No Secrets after years of following trends – the songs were romantic, with the erotic edge that had charged much of Simon’s best material. The album was typically uneven, what with its reggae material (including a redundant cover of Bob Marley’s “Is This Love”), but also typically personal and compelling. The title track was a winning account of her parents’ courting, complete with a happy-ever-after ending that didn’t occur in real life.
