Songs From The Trees (A Musical Memoir Collection) is singer-songwriter Carly Simon's sixth greatest-hits album. The two-disc set was released on November 20, 2015 as a tie-in to her autobiography, Boys in the Trees: A Memoir. It contains newly remastered versions of songs from Simon's career, ranging from 1964's "Winkin', Blinkin', and Nod" (as The Simon Sisters), through 1987's "Two Hot Girls (On a Hot Summer Night)." The collection also includes two previously unreleased songs, "Showdown" (originally recorded during the sessions for her 1978 album Boys in the Trees) and "I Can’t Thank You Enough", a brand new song written with her son Ben Taylor.
