Home Again

The melody of Home Again envelops you with a warmth that invites introspection. Its structure, though simple, has a nostalgic air that feels authentic. The song's duration, barely two and a half minutes, is enough to leave a mark. It was recorded with the engineering of Hank Cicalo and under the production of Lou Adler, who had already worked with her on other projects.

This piece is part of Tapestry, Carole King's second studio album, released on February 10, 1971. The album, produced by Lou Adler for Ode Records, became a milestone. Tapestry not only stayed at the top of the US album charts for 15 weeks in 1971, but it remained on them for over six years, a record for a solo artist at the time. The album was recognized with four Grammy Awards in 1972, including Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Record of the Year. Carole King, born Carol Joan Klein in New York on February 9, 1942, already had a solid career as a songwriter since the 60s, collaborating with Gerry Goffin on over twenty hits for other artists. However, it was in the 70s that her facet as a singer reached its peak.
