Agree, good post...
Exactly right. Things slowed down after the 60s - many had burned out and CK, JT, JM reflected a more personal, intimate and inward musical direction. These three were the best of that time and that genre. It doesn't often get any better, organic than CK in her living room, with a bass, drum and guitar....there was a purity to Tapestry that has yet to be surpassed. Those who did it afterwards were trying to capture that vibe. But CK just did it with little expectation.
And GHS sort of reflected this movement with a more mellow, piano-driven easiness.
You'd also be amazed at how many latter day artist - male and female, cite Tapestry as an inspiration: everyone from Ben Folds to Amy Winehouse, Adele, Alicia Keys, Tori Amos, Lady Gaga.....it lasted.
It's just your imagination Rockman!

I agree. A relaxing album, makes you feel good. I've always liked that album.
Carole King's music stands the test of time, that's why we're talking about it.
But I hope nobdy here is gonna try a retrospective on The Osmonds or David Cassidy or the Partridge Family! This was a great time for music but it wasn't all good....
I loved the way she would write for each artist. She would write to their style.
You know this song was meant for the Righteous Bros or that song was meant for the Animals etc .....
What was that story Andrew Oldham used to tell about how he and Keith, on the first trip to NYC, toured the Brill Building...and listened to CK's demos, legendary among songwriters at the time. Oldham says that's where Keith and Mick learned to write songs - how she would just outline a new song with just a few chords, a melody line, a change.....it wasn't some complicated process - she did in a way that made sense to musicians like Keith.
This song is such a perfect example of her genius as a com poster, arranger etc....
Its all here: the melody, the changes, background vocals, the bass line....Phil Spector just took this demo and amplified it.

I don't think my 20-year old niece could name more than 10 songs from one year that impacted her life. Amazing times.
As a co-writer of chart-toppers, yes.
Dolly Parton writes on her own.

I just like the album. Carole has got a sweet voice. And there's a smooth, consistent sound throughout the album. There appears to me only a couple of 'fillers' as you put it. Simply put, "Tapestry" is one of the classic recordings of that decade.
Talk about your favorite band.

What a great album! Good songs, simple playing. What more can I ask for? Love I feel the Earth move, Way over Yonder, You got a friend, and why not? Where you lead. You make me feel is, to my ears, better than Aretha's...

It's always important to put things in their historical perspective. This album was released in February, 1971. It was in a sense the Sgt. Pepper of the pop folk of the early 70s. It had been preceded the year before by James Taylor's Fire and Rain, which helped kick off a more personal, a more downsizing of popular music at the time. It was a reflective period. The Beatles had broken up acrimoniously, Hendrix and Joplin had died, and there was a burned out feeling to the whole hippie vibe. The line "Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?" was especially resonant. The Allman Brothers 'Midnight Rider', and Cat Stevens 'Morning Has Broken' were mellower songs with a wistfulness underneath.
I can't listen to 'It's Too Late' without thinking of the breakup with my 16-year-old girlfriend. The whole singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell tone of that time was quite popular, and seemed a natural reaction to the bombast of rock and roll in the late 60s and the aftermath. You could say that the Stones sort of capstoned the era with Angie, a reflective song that touched a chord and was a worldwide smash, from an equally reflective album, Goats Head Soup.

Yeah, good post 24FPS! This, together with the post from Elmo, brightens up what was lurking behind, I think:
"It helps if you bought it at the time, as those of who did still have very fond memories of some great songs."
It must have been a receptive time, different from nowadays. Sure there is an overload of female singer/ songwriters today, but this was different. Well, in order to feel it`s different, as Elmo wrote, you had to buy it at the time, which I didn`t. "The whole singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell tone" was immensely popular at Norway`s one and only radio station at the time. You almost never happened to hear Alice Cooper, Roxy Music or Emerson, Lake & Palmer, groups that were popular about the same time.

When it comes to songs by Carole King, Jazzman was always a favorite, which came out two or three years after Tapestry.

Besides 'You've got a friend' I really dig 'Home again', 'Way over younder', 'Will you love me tomorrow', 'Tapestry' and of course 'You make me feel like a natural woman'...all beautiful ballads with strong melodies and 'The Woman and The Piano-thing'....very good album but watch out for Lennons 'Imagine' from that same year...

Hmm, I was so young at the time that things were really going on behind my back, so to speak. As has been clarified above, this album is in fact part of some larger scheme, the fatigue thing after the roaring 60s. I wonder if a 15 year old understood that this was reason for buying it at the time. If so, she would have to be a very mature young woman. Yeah, I can see it all clearly now, John Lennon`s Imagine, Don McLean`s American Pie, James Taylor`s Sweet Baby James, The Rolling Stones` Goat`s Head Soup, -all parts of a coming down.

You'll notice there's quite a lot of reflective, mellower songs on the list. Maggie May, Just My Imagination, Have You Seen Her, My Sweet Lord, Rainy Days and Mondays, Take Me Home Country Roads, etc. I don't understand what Noughties was trying to say. Did someone say it was all planned out? A scheme? No, but the artists themselves were reflecting this burned out mood, and the audiences responded. I was around 15 at the time and I remember being frustrated that all this mellow music was on the radio, because radio was still important.
Now maybe I didn't care for Bread singing Guitar Man, but it didn't take a genius, or a scheme, to see what the trend was.

I confess that I still haven`t managed to say what I would like to say. I agree that there was no plan or scheme, but a common burned out mood. What I will still try to tell is this feeling by me of not being able to grasp or appreciate what was going on when being there. I definetely experienced that "Tapestry" was some sophisticated piece of confession set to simple piano music for the "in crowd". Among them was not me. But I see that the burned out mood was only the beginning. There were more anti 60s music to come. As we see, it started with mellowness, continued with blandness(Gilbert O`Sullivan, Elton John) and further on turned into smoothness (disco).

King used to have this great trick on a lot of her '60s tunes that was brilliant.
If the tune was in A, the bass would drop to a G while the rest of the band stayed on A.
Or it would reverse: The band dropped to a G while the bass stayed on A.
Noting new, but it sounded great.

Hmm, I was so young at the time that things were really going on behind my back, so to speak. As has been clarified above, this album is in fact part of some larger scheme, the fatigue thing after the roaring 60s. I wonder if a 15 year old understood that this was reason for buying it at the time. If so, she would have to be a very mature young woman. Yeah, I can see it all clearly now, John Lennon`s Imagine, Don McLean`s American Pie, James Taylor`s Sweet Baby James, The Rolling Stones` Goat`s Head Soup, -all parts of a coming down.
There was still some rocking going on, but a lot of mellow music in the hits from 1971. A great year in music...

Carole King's music stands the test of time, that's why we're talking about it.
But I hope nobdy here is gonna try a retrospective on The Osmonds or David Cassidy or the Partridge Family! This was a great time for music but it wasn't all good....

I loved the way she would write for each artist. She would write to their style.
You know this song was meant for the Righteous Bros or that song was meant for the Animals etc .....
What was that story Andrew Oldham used to tell about how he and Keith, on the first trip to NYC, toured the Brill Building...and listened to CK's demos, legendary among songwriters at the time. Oldham says that's where Keith and Mick learned to write songs - how she would just outline a new song with just a few chords, a melody line, a change.....it wasn't some complicated process - she did in a way that made sense to musicians like Keith.
This song is such a perfect example of her genius as a com poster, arranger etc....
Its all here: the melody, the changes, background vocals, the bass line....Phil Spector just took this demo and amplified it.

I`m not getting this. I think it`s highly overrated. It`s full of fillers. What where you people thinking in the early 70s? Is this it? Be my guest! I think music should be a widescreen experience, just like Pink Floyd`s "Another Brick In The Wall Part Two", geddit? This music just leaves me cold. Was this album really the soundtrack for home alone parties in the early 70s?
I just like the album. Carole has got a sweet voice. And there's a smooth, consistent sound throughout the album. There appears to me only a couple of 'fillers' as you put it. Simply put, "Tapestry" is one of the classic recordings of that decade.

I do like Tapestry. I was only 6 when it came out but I remember hearing the songs. They've always been around and stand the test of time. Carole is an outstanding writer.
