Never Been Gone is an album by the American singer/songwriter Carly Simon, released in October 2009. The album features new acoustic versions of many of Simon's past hits. It is her 25th studio album (and her 33rd overall).

The album peaked at #134 on the United States Billboard album chart, and at #45 in the UK. It has sold approximately 12,000 copies, making it Simon's all-time lowest charting album.[2] It was given away free with "The Mail On Sunday" newspaper on 28 March 2010.[1]

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, which Carly claimed the company had failed to promote properly.[3] 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.
