Her second album (1970&#8217;s <em>Writer<\/em> was her debut), <em>Tapestry<\/em> is a timeless and richly woven effort. Many music fans know that before embarking on a solo career, King was already a well-established \u201cBrill Building\u201d songwriter; only a few know that she recorded a 1968 LP as part of a group called The City. Moreover, that album&#8217;s personnel is nearly the same as <em>Tapestry<\/em>, right down to producer <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/?p=633\"><strong>Lou Adler<\/strong><\/a>. Long out of print, unheard, and unfairly dismissed as undistinguished, <em>Now That Everything&#8217;s Been Said<\/em> is in fact a superb album that not only foreshadows <em>Tapestry<\/em>&#8216;s pleasures, but actually kinda rocks in places. It&#8217;s hard to imagine a rock fan who digs <em>Tapestry<\/em> not falling in love with this disc, newly rescued from undeserved obscurity.<\/p>\n<p><em>An edited version of this review appeared in the <\/em>Colorado Springs Independent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/the_musoscribe\">Follow \u201cthe_musoscribe\u201d on <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/musoscribe.com\/images\/icon_twitter_small.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"18\" height=\"18\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"1\" vspace=\"0\" \/> Twitter<\/a> and get notified<br \/>\nwhen new features, reviews and essays are published.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>File next to: Carole King, Laura Nyro, Brooklyn Bridge Carole King&#8216;s landmark 1971 LP Tapestry is admired even by those who don&#8217;t generally go in for that sort of thing.
