As a longtime fan of both the woman and her musical works, I remember that different pressings of this LP featured two different inside lyric sheet images...one version with her standing in her robe, the other in the chair shown here. The sheet music songbook that matches this album features a number of never-otherwise-seen images...including one of Carly reclining on the "undersized" bed - her hands covering her breasts - looking very much like one of the original concepts described above: "in a child-sized bed, with huge trees outside looking threatening." This collaboration is the most stellar example of what happens when visionary artists get together on a vision. The result is a total expression of joy.Aris K.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135704507956502747.post-7322147131638941572013-06-04T17:21:11.536-04:002013-06-04T17:21:11.536-04:00One of her best albums.

I became obsessed by Turbeville after her work appeared in the trashy but compelling Faye Dunaway thriller 'The Eyes of Laura Mars'. And I always loved Carly - but 'Boys In The Trees' was, for me, hand-down her crowning achievement as an album, with the title track her best song. The two coming together made sweet music that much sweeter.

Her work from that period set the standard for singer songwriter excellence.. NO FILLERS on her albums, for sure! I do not think much of the Grammy Awards either. They, like the Rock Hall, seem to be more about self promotion than acknowledgment or celebration of true talent.B_4https://www.blogger.com/profile/06064893834238018097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135704507956502747.post-57768289303016442432011-06-30T09:55:01.642-04:002011-06-30T09:55:01.642-04:00It's one of my favourites too.

I guess I did not mention that because I don't rate the Grammy Awards very highly. Sure, they got it right in this case, but isn't it astonishing that they did not give CS an award between 1971 (best new artist) and 1988 (best movie theme)?

(This one happens to be one of my favorites.)<br />I particularly enjoyed reading and seeing the artwork from Edgar Degas and Toulouse-Lautrec that may have inspired the beautiful work of photographer Ms. Tuberville. Just brilliant! Also, I believe the album cover won a Grammy in 1979 for Best Album Package for Art Directors Johnny Lee & Tony Lane.B_4https://www.blogger.com/profile/06064893834238018097noreply@blogger.com
