"Five decades later, Carole King's Tapestry still holds it's own and will forever be a landmark album.
With minimal production by Lou Adler, King's unadorned, honest vocals, coupled with her personal style are a constant throughout the ballads of Tapestry. Originally released in 1971, this album paved the way for female singer/songwriters. It is a refreshing change from most albums of that time, mainly because the featured instrument is the piano. The songs on this album do not suffer from lack of electric guitar or in-your-face drums.
Tapestry features the two hit songs, "It's Too Late" and "I Feel The Earth Move." King's piano pounds out a beat similar to drums on "I Feel The Earth Move" which is sure to have your head bobbing, while her soulful vocals lend to the sexual theme of the song, without being raunchy. King's own version of "You've Got A Friend," is notably the best song on the album. Even though most people relate "You've Got A Friend" to James Taylor, King's rendition of her own song is equally compelling; the words of this song are the ultimate anthem of deep, dedicated friendship. Most of the other songs of the album speak of loneliness or a desire to be at peace with one's self.
Tapestry also contains two early compositions of hers, "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" and "Natural Woman," which will always be ingrained on our minds as the song we associate with Aretha Franklin.
"Way Over Yonder" has a soulful, blues-y feel and features Curtis May on a tenor sax solo in the middle of the song. Poetic and beautiful, "Tapestry" deserves to hold the title of the album, while "Smackwater Jack" seems oddly misplaced on this album.
Listening to this album will leave you with the feeling that you had a conversation with a long-time trusted friend, in the comfort of her living room. It is down-to-earth yet deep in the messages it conveys about life, love and the desire to be happy." - Fan of This Album.
