A Must Have for People Who Love Music
HAN XIAO | CHINA | 05/05/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Carole King released TAPESTRY and it suddenly became a classic. Surprise? Of course not. It remained one of the most successful record of all time, and the ultimate reason was that Carole composed, wrote and sang from deep in her heart, and all she did caught the very beat of our hearts. Although SONY/BMG released a CD+DVD edition, but this remastered edition with bonus tracks will surely be many fans' favourite.

Today, we won't see Carole as just a singer. She's a heroine who brought famale power to a deep impact into music history. Even though she can't be as popular as she was in 1970s. She never changes, it's just we who have changed, but something beautiful always remains."
A Classic Mega Smash Album With Artistic Cred
Just Fell In | LA, California | 09/24/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This album is just gorgeous from beginning to end. Jazz/blues/rock/pop/R&B/soul flows from beginning to end with ease. It has a clean live sound and excellent musicians. Some of the best love songs of all time are on this album. As prolific a songwriter as Carole is, she never made another masterpiece like this. 8 of the album's 12 original tracks were either hits or radio staples and the album tracks compete with the hits like champs.



Several of the songs were also recorded and made hits by other artists. Rod Stewart made So Far Away his own and (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman is remembered as an Aretha Franklin song. My personal favorite is It's Too Late. It's probably the best song she ever wrote, with its wonderful jazz bridge and understated jazz leanings.



Carole is not the best vocalist in the world but she sings with enough feeling to truly deliver this album's emotional wallop. It was recorded in 1971, but sounds like the whole rest of the 70s due to the influence that it had on that decade. There were many imitators that came later and I can only wish that modern songer/songwriters would look here for a much needed dose of sophistication.



Highly recommended."
