TAPESTRY was one of the most popular albums of the 1970s, perfectly capturing the intimate, confessional mode of the singer/songwriter genre then in bloom, yet without the mawkishness or posing that later typified the style. Though Carole King had been successful in the '60s as a behind-the-scenes composer of Brill Building pop, her decision to perform her own material brought its craftsmanship and sincerity to the fore. In addition, everything about TAPESTRY, from its warm soft-rock arrangements to its cover art (which shows King lounging in her apartment in bare feet, a sweater and jeans), suggested something different. This was the casual, personal music of interiors, without any of the make-up of traditional pop.
Some of the songs King penned for others, including "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" (a hit for the Shirelles' in 1961) and "(You Make Me Feel) Like a Natural Woman" (a hit for Aretha Franklin in 1968), are re-worked here to fit the album's introspective mood. Yet the newer material is what really shines. "I Feel the Earth Move" works a light, rocking groove, as does "It's Too Late" though with a more plaintive, resigned feel, while "You've Got a Friend" has an unassuming sincerity that gives it the edge over James Taylor's cover. The combination of TAPESTRY's superior songwriting, startling honesty, and jazzy, mellow, organic instrumentation makes it an appealing, moving listen even today.
Originally released on Ode (PE 34946).

Liner Note Author: James Taylor .
Recording information: A&M Recording Studios, Hollywood, California.Rolling Stone (10/31/02, p.136) - Ranked # 19 in Rolling Stone's "Women in Rock: The 50 Essential Albums"
Rolling Stone (4/29/71, pp.40-41) - "...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..."
Spin (p.101) - "King looked into herself and became a brilliant romantic realist."
Q (9/99, p.130) - 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..."
Dirty Linen (12/99-1/00, p.67) - "...this is a terrific set of songs...more than a quarter century after they first came to light, they are still fresh..."
Q (Magazine) (p.119) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[O]ne of TAPESTRY's greatest charms is its lack of histrionics, with King's unpolished, lived-in voice....There is a real pleasure in hearing the love song in an expert's hands..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.118) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "It's hard to think of another album that hit the Zeitgeist quite as emphatically as TAPESTRY."
Paste (magazine) (p.65) - "It's an exquisite, timeless work....TAPESTRY remains Carole King's definitive testimony..."
Record Collector (magazine) (p.96) - 5 stars out of 5 -- "[A]s good as you remember: mellow, exultant, heartfelt and even surprisingly dark, especially with the sad verses of the otherwise upbeat 'Beautiful'..."

I had this album many years ago and have been wishing for years for it to be introduced as a cd. At long last I have managed to find a copy. It still sounds as wonderful as when I first heard it.

 Perfect
Carole King is a vey talented songwriter and singer, obviously, adn I think that this CD is her best. I actually heard her music first on the theme song of Gilmore Girls, which I am obsessed with, so "Where You Lead" grew on me very quickly. This is a wonderful CD.

Purchase Tapestry CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Creedence Clearwater Revival Chronicle: The 20 Greatest Hits CD (1976)
Tapestry album
 $10.85   
Digitally remastered by Gary Hobish (1994, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California).
Guided, perhaps, by musical snobbery or roots-rock phobia, some people inexplicably don't like Creedence Clearwater Revival. As the kings of earnest country-inflected rock in an age when radical stances were de rigueur, CCR sported straight-ahead tunes, and may have seemed a bit unhip. But their music stands the test of time with a vengeance. For the doubtful listener, this outstanding, 20-track hits collection has evidence of their greatness in staggering abundance.
Though they produced several excellent albums, Creedence was predominantly a singles band, and CHRONICLE compiles many of their biggest hits. From the slowly building saunter of "Suzie Q" and the spooky, R&B-soaked "I Put a Spell on You" to the fierce "Fortunate Son" and the swampy blues of "Run Through the Jungle," ...

Tapestry CD music
$8.49
The first and still the best of the many Carly Simon compilations available, 1975's THE BEST OF CARLY SIMON is an all-meat, no-filler collection of most of the folk-pop singer/songwriter's best and biggest songs. Looking over the track listing, one is reminded of just how many classic songs Simon was responsible for in the early '70s.
"That's the Way I've Always Heard it Should Be," "The Right Thing to Do," "Haven't Got Time For the Pain," "Anticipation," and of course "You're So Vain" still sound remarkably ...

Tapestry music CDs
$15.65
Crosby, Still, and Nash topped their enormously popular self-titled 1969 debut by adding Neil Young to their ranks and expanding their stylistic and sonic range. The result, released in 1970, was an artistic and commercial success, representing the talents of the four primary players to excellent effect. More ambitious and incisive than its CSN predecessor, DEJA VU brings together folk, psychedelia, jazz, African, and Middle Eastern flavors, Tin Pan Alley, and hard rock in ...

BLUE marks the culmination of Mitchell's early, traditional singer/songwriter period, and it is one of the very best albums of that genre. Though she was already beginning to experiment with elements of pop and jazz, BLUE focuses on Mitchell's skill as a folk singer, showcasing her reedy, expressive voice in duet with her piano or guitar. The arrangements on the album--which feature keys, dulcimer, bass, and assorted ...

Tapestry songs
$14.29
The Santoor is part of a larger family of musical instruments known by various names throughout the world, most popularly played in China 'yang chin', Iran 'santoor and Eastern Europe 'cymbalon' and the 'hammered dulcimer' played in western Europe and the U.S.A.It found its way into India through Kashmir, where the Sufi mystics helped to establish it as an important part in North India's vibrant folk music tradition. With its one hundred resonating strings, the Santoor's magical charm has won over classical music audiences and played an important role in the popularisation of Indian music worldwide. Tarun Bhattacharya is the most established Santoor player of the younger generation. He hails from Calcutta, which has become a 'hotbed' for musical talent, ensuring a healthy future for India's classical music culture. His music possesses a rare dynamic vitality, with a highly developed aesthetic sense and an impressive command of rhythmic syncopation. Like many of India's leading artists, his earliest music training came from home. He was first encouraged to learn Sarangi, Sarod, Sitar, Tabla and Piano before finally settling for the Santoor. Initially guided by his father, his musical skills have been fine- tuned by the revered Pandit Ravi Shankar, and his bent for innovation is a tribute to his mentor.He has embarked upon revolutionary changes to the Santoor, which have enhanced its tonal quality and increased its range, introducing glides and slides which emulate the bending of notes ...
| | Family Tree Silver Lining CD (2006)
Tapestry album
$10.15
With roots in just about every musical genre, and focusing lyrically on personal growth and today's most vital issues-Family Tree has evolved into a driving force of reassuring positivity as well as dissent. Formed in 1998, the members of the band have been working passionately since day one to keep these central ideas in mind along every step of the way. With the release of their first full-length album in November of 2003 and their critically acclaimed EP, Silver Lining in 2005, Family Tree is undoubtedly ready to expand its reach and gain the attention of new and unexpecting listeners. Family Tree consists of: Derek Smith-acoustic and electric guitar and vocals; Zach Klecka-electric violin; Kevin Johnson-bass; Anthony Lomonaco-drums and vocals; Kevin Turner-electric guitar and vocals; and Brian Baldwin-percussion. "The result is a virtually flawless ensemble with infinite possibilities"-David Todd of Port Folio Weekly Magazine. At it's conception, Family Tree was an eight-piece group including guitarist Mike Johnston, flutist Jason Winters, and original drummer, Andy Smith (brother to Derek Smith and first cousin to Kevin Johnson.) Mike and Jason left the band, respectively, to pursue other musical avenues, but remain great friends to Family Tree. On December 16 of 2004, Andy tragically passed away at his home in Norfolk, VA. The band has continued on, in honor of his memory and for all that they have worked for over the past seven years. Anthony Lomonaco, Andy's best friend and original percussionist for Family Tree, has filled the void behind the drum kit, so that the group may continue to reach new audiences with their music.Over the past eight years, Family Tree has received a large amount of attention and has gathered an extremely diverse following in and around their home area of Hampton ...
