Tapestry

Carole King released Tapestry in February 1971, an album filled with deep and sincere songs. The sound was soft, with a touch of pop and soft rock, and each song seemed to come from the most intimate place. King's voice was clear, and it felt like she was speaking directly to your ear.

About the album

Tapestry, according to DoReSol

She recorded the album in a Hollywood studio, along with James Taylor and Joni Mitchell, who were also working on their projects. The session band was experienced, and everything was put together with a lot of calm. The album cover shows King sitting in her home, with a fabric she had woven herself, and her cat nearby. It was a personal moment, and the album reflected that.

The songs were written by her herself or with collaborators like Gerry Goffin and Toni Stern. Some had already been famous before, but in Tapestry they became even deeper. The song "You’ve Got a Friend" became a hit, and people remembered it as something that embraced you. The album was well received, and it became something that remained relevant years later.
