Liner Note Author: James Taylor .
One of the most popular albums of the 1970s and an early landmark of the singer-songwriter scene, TAPESTRY spawned numerous hit singles and is now rightly considered one of pop's finest albums. This two-disc Legacy Edition features the original album in pristine remastered form and a second disc comprising live solo piano renditions of all 12 songs, recorded between 1973 and 1976, as well as extensive liner notes and photographs.
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. ~ Jason Ankeny
TAPESTRY was one of the most popular albums of theRolling 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.

3 stars 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.

Tapestry
CD $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, ...
Silver Lining
Family Tree Silver Lining CD  (2006)

Tapestry
CD $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 ...
