Third album from CS, from 1972.
Singer-songwriterish songs with some stellar backing musicians including Lowell George, Nicky Hopkins, Klaus Voorman, Ray Cooper, Bobby Keys, Jim Keltner, and Andy Newmark, along with some backing vox courtesy of the McCartneys, Mick Jagger, Doris Troy, Bonnie Bramlett, and then-hubby James Taylor (for the benefit of the pedantic, I know they were married at around the time this was released, but don't know which came first).
There are a handful of songs that made a big impression on me when I used to listen to BBC Radio's Sunday night top 40 countdown in the kitchen in the early '70s, and You're so Vain is one of them. Great song.
The quality of the songs/playing/singing is uniformly high and this is a fine example of this sort of album.
AllMusic 4+/5 stars.
