Carole King brought the fledgling
singer/songwriter phenomenon to the masses with
Tapestry, one of the most successful albums in
pop music history. A remarkably expressive and intimate record, it's a work of consummate craftsmanship. Always a superior
pop composer,
King reaches even greater heights as a performer; new songs like the hits
"It's Too Late" and
"I Feel the Earth Move" rank solidly with past glories, while chestnuts like
"You've Got a Friend," "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow," and
"(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" take on added resonance when delivered in her own warm, compelling voice. With its reliance on pianos and gentle drumming,
Tapestry is a light and airy work on its surface, occasionally skirting the boundaries of
jazz, but it's also an intensely emotional record, the songs confessional and direct; in its time it connected with listeners like few records before it, and it remains an illuminating experience decades later.
