Reduce, reuse, recycle. It’s the animating principle of the environmental movement distilled down to its bumper sticker essence. The principle can also have surprising results when applied to music making, particularly if it’s Carly Simon making the music.

When she began working on her latest album, Into White, Simon selected just a few instruments besides her voice and then let serendipity take over. She ended up where she began, recording new, spare, and haunting renditions of songs like Scarborough Fair and Blackbird, songs that defined her own generation. But she didn’t stop her inspired recycling there. She recorded classics from the American songbook like Over the Rainbow—as well as two original compositions.

Carly Simon recently talked to LIME about Into White and how she “lives the change.” Below you’ll find an excerpt of the interview. . .

LIME: You call this a return to your guitar based roots, and the singer/songwriters of your own generation. Are there ideas that you connect to these songs that also inspired you to return to them?
