Music : Tapestry: Remasteredby: Carole King
Disc 1:
Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Carole King was famous as a writer of girl group hits in the 1960s. In 1971, she became more famous. That's the year Tapestry became one of the biggest selling LPs of all time. It's easy to hear why--the music is loose, earthy, L.A. session-pop. King is casual, intimate, and tough; she covers all the emotional ground of the post-liberated woman with ease. She brings adult nuance to 'Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?' and comes up with hits ('It's Too Late', 'I Feel the Earth Move') whose white soul realism and maturity put pop hits to shame. --Steve Tignor Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - Classic album from 1971.Carole King's 'Tapestry' album has to be a true 'classic' - and I think I'm right in saying that this album's never been out of print since it was originally released back in 1971! Features the hit single from 1971: 'It's Too Late' (though from what I recall, the single version was not as long and of a slightly different arrangement) which will forever remind me of that year. Despite only being nine years old at the time (and unlike the kids of today - we did not have the ... Read More Rating: - SublimeThis is the product of an artist at the apex of their artistic trajectory. Already a prolific song writer, King indulges her instincts on this album and, with one exception (Smackwater Jack), delivers in spades. Donald Fagen said "God is in the details, but there are no details anymore". Listen to this album, compare it to a modern release, and discover what the he was talking about. Production is basic by modern standards, talent shines through the limitations of the technology. "Where ... Read More Rating: - A Classic By Anyone's StandardsOf all the introspective styled singer-songwriters of the early seventies Carole King would perhaps seem a most unlikely candidate to adopt that genre - after all her success was at its peak a decade earlier when she was predominantly a songwriter alongside her husband Gerry Goffin penning a great many fondly remembered classics aimed at the teen market. Fortunately, her forte had always been strong melodies and 'Tapestry', her second album is no exception although its style is more intimate than the ... Read More Rating: - A tapestry made of fine durable fabricThis is a classic album that sounds as honest and sincere now as it did way back in 1971. Imagine an album staying in the number one spot for fifteen weeks and on the charts for over SIX YEARS. With four Grammy awards under its belt, and songs like “I Feel The Earth Move”; “It's Too Late”; “You've Got A Friend”; “Will You Love Me Tomorrow?”; “Tapestry” and “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman”, this album belongs in any serious collection of ‘70s music. Read More Rating: - If you haven't yet heard this, you are deprived!This album is a musical miracle. All of the tracks are beautiful, and suit any occasion: whatever my mood, Carole King has a song to express what I am feeling. My particular favourite is 'You've got a friend' - nothing James Taylor can come up with can compare to this - a heart-warming rendition of a song, which could be cheesy and tacky but, thanks to the singer's unique voice, is quite simply just wonderful. I would like to express my wish for this to be a must-hear for people throughout the ... Read More
