Carly simon the right thing to do


Background

The album was conceived in the summer of 2008, a time when Simon was having problems promoting her previous album, This Kind of Love, which had been released through Starbucks' Hear Music label. Simon claimed the company had failed to promote it properly. Simon's son, Ben Taylor, convinced her to channel her energies into making a new album. Never Been Gone features new acoustic versions of many of Simon's hits spanning her career, and was recorded at her home on Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts.
