Music reviews of Tapestry
Music Review: Timeless Music
Rating: 5 Stars
Tapestry is one of the great pop albums of all time. But "pop" does not define what Tapestry is. Carole King wrote songs with a musical sense that belongs to the great songwriters of all time, from the classical songs of Schubert, great church hymns, Stephen Foster, Gershwin, and of course the best contemporary song-writing.
The point is that Carole King wrote great songs that defy easy categories. I hate the labels: country, rock, pop, adult easy listening,.... blah blah. Hey, a good song is a good song and can probably be done in any number of styles, from country to jazz. And all of those styles are American, now, anyway, duh...
And Carole King put a bunch of great songs on Tapestry and sang them with a big heart that makes you believe every word she is singing. So cry, laugh and enjoy this American Song treasure that will last well beyond the time we are all gone. Make sure your children hear Tapestry: an education in great music, a heartfelt slice of life as we really feel it.

Description of Tapestry
Carole King was famous as a writer of girl-group hits in the '60s. In 1971, she became more famous. That's the year Tapestry became one of the biggest-selling LPs of all time. It's easy to hear why--the music is loose, earthy, L.A. session-pop. King is casual, intimate, and tough; she covers all the emotional ground of the post-liberated woman with ease. She brings adult nuance to "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?" and comes up with hits ("It's Too Late," "I Feel the Earth Move") whose white-soul realism and maturity put pop hits to shame. --Steve Tignor --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.General CDs
