Includes liner notes by James Taylor.During the 60s Carole King was renowned for composing a succession of classic pop songs. A low-key recording career blossomed with the release of this album which successfully married this skill with the contemporary singer-songwriter movement. TAPESTRY is comprised of self-penned material and collaborations with either ex-husband Gerry Goffin or lyricist Toni Stern. King's unfussy vocal style enhances the simply stated yet astute material and in "It's Too Late" the singer expresses the breakdown of a relationship with percipient incisiveness. Such skill ensures the album's lasting popularity.
Editorial Reviews ...Carole King's second album, TAPESTRY, has fulfilled the promise of her first album and confirmed the fact that she is one of the most creative figures in all of pop music... Rolling Stone (04/29/1971)
5 stars (out of 5) - ...if the term singer-songwriter gained currency anywhere, it wouldn't be far from here....King's inward-looking songs spoke of a mature woman going it alone, wounded but hopeful....perhaps it's time to put aside the baggage that TAPESTRY brings with it and celebrate instead a classic rock record... Q (09/01/1999)
...this is a terrific set of songs...more than a quarter century after they first came to light, they are still fresh... Dirty Linen
