Another Passenger; Another clasy album by Singer/songwriter Carly Simon. A lovely face and personna. A sweet expression and an album full of classy songs, all stamped with her individual mark. It does not quite make my Favourite Albums Ever list, simply because she is already represented there by a couple of releases that I consider superior.

Another Passenger is Simon's strongest work, but somehow it fails to be a thrilling experience. It is more musically diverse than her previous efforts, and her songwriting still as strong as ever, but still it lacks that certain edge to make it stand out.

I have to say that I am struggling with the Carly Simon discography at the moment. I think this is about the fourth album I've heard (I'm not doing them in chronolgical order which may be a mistake) and it is by far the best one so far. Not that that is saying much to be honest as the others have been pretty dire.

There are no real standouts for me here, but similarly there are no real howlers either. It's pretty consistent and a bit rockier than the others I've heard so far. I've still got more than a dozen to go so I remain hopeful there will be a couple of better ones amongst them.

One of Carly's best albums. Here she covers songs by the the Doobie Brothers and Little Feat (and even improving on them) and also presents some of her best originals ("Cow Town" and "In Times When My Head").

When Another Passenger was released--I was stunned.
It sounded like a greatest hits album--not a bad track on it.

Another Passenger is not a very appreciated album. It shows in the track lists of various Carly Simon compilations. One of those includes only "In Times When My Head" from this album, another one contains only "Libby", yet another one has none. "Half a Chance" and "It Keeps You Runnin'", which were both singles, are missing. I understand the case with the latter, as the song was first released by The Doobie Brothers and is associated with them, but what about "Half a Chance"? It is a very good album opener on Another Passenger.

All right, the album is not at all perfect, but there is no such thing as a perfect album (let alone a perfect Carly Simon album!), so let us recall the numerous fine tracks in here. My favourite tracks are "In Times When My Head" and the light and summery "He Likes to Roll." "Fairweather Father", "Riverboat Gambler", "Libby" and especially "Darkness 'Til Dawn" are great little tracks as well. Though I am not very fond of "Cow Town" and "One Love Stand", they don't ruin this overall nice album.

Richard Perry is replaced by future Van Halen mastermind Ted Templeman. There's a funkier, blacker sound than on the earlier records and some unexpectedly hard rock, but stylistically this is a little all over the shop. Inconsistent.

[i}Another Passenger[/i] is a beautiful work that somehow never found the large audience of Carly's earlier work. Produced by Ted Templeman, the album was a bit of departure in that it was more rock oriented and funkier than previous albums. The opening "Half A Chance" is a heartfelt plea to work on a relationship --and should have been the initial single. The first single was "It Keeps You Running" which is better known by the Doobie Brothers. But such tracks as "Libby" and "At Times In My Head" are stunning. A song like "Fairweather Father" which takes a husband to task for not being a full partner took a lot of guts, while "Cowtown" is great fun.
