Songs from the Trees (A Musical Memoir Collection) is a two-disc compilation set by American singer-songwriter Carly Simon, released on November 20, 2015, as a tie-in to her memoir, Boys in the Trees.^[2]

The collection contains newly remastered versions of songs spanning 23 years of 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)" from the album Coming Around Again. Also included are 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 and performed with her son Ben Taylor.^[3]
