i had never heard of Carol King. One day i was looking through the record store and he album cover just kept grabbing my attention (not sure why, i dont think its anything special). Anyway, i ended up buying the album. Upon getting home and listening to it I was suprised by two things. the first was how many songs i actually knew. The second was how fuckin good it was | |

One of the best albums of the 70s 
No filler whatsoever | |

Love it - there's not a wasted minute on it. It's warm, friendly and sentimental without being dopey about it. I figure it's one of the rare seventies singer-songwriter albums that didn't overdose the listener with wimpiness and navel-gazing. | |

Tapestry is a mandatory listen.
You may not like her voice but the songs are first rate. I used to have... 
...Fantasy also. Bit of a side road. For voice & songs, don't sleep on...

Tapestry is in my top 25 favorite albums. Strong from start to finish with great songwriting and musicianship. I also really dig her voice...may not be the prettiest out there, but she evokes so much emotion. I seriously need to get Tapestry on vinyl. | |

INCREDIBLE. There is not one bad song on it and practically all the songs have become classics, if not by her, by someone else.
What I like most about this album is that it is a life transitioning album. You can hear the longing and the musings of someone who may have left home to go to San Francisco, and is discovering who she is as a person and her reflections of how life is going for her. Christian Zombie Vampires | |

Is it as good as people say? About the cover. That is a typical San Francisco apt window sill she is sitting in. It speaks of simplicity as well as referencing the San Francisco times..IMO. I live in SF and the cover maybe speaks to me more so than most. I discovered this album shortly after moving here. It's almost as if she wrote it from my perspactive. Esp songs like you've got a friend and so far away. Christian Zombie Vampires | |
