HMV Review

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. [The 1999 CD reissue on Sony adds two bonus tracks: the previously unreleased outtake Out in the Cold and a previously unreleased live 1973 version (on solo piano) of Smackwater Jack.] ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide

    時に春の陽射しのように柔らかに包み込むような、時に秋風のように染み入るような、そんな様々な表情を見せながら、そっと心の側に寄り添ってくれる大切なアルバムです。繊細な歌声が、心のひだにまで染みわたってくる名盤。

    「S.S.Wで、誰が好き?」と聞かれたら、Carole Kingの名は、真っ先には思い浮かばず。「S.S.Wの、好きなアルバムは?」と聞かれれば「Tapestry」が真っ先に、思い浮かぶ。アルバムの印象が、アーティストの名をも凌駕する、当にEvergreen!
