Carpenters takes me back, definitely one of those artists / albums we had around the house when I was a kid and a staple on SoCal AM radio. Mostly forgettable IMO, with the exception of the hits, and the covers were defintely whitewashed versions of the originals. That being said, Karen had a beautiful voice, and was a badass drummer. Mentions of the Carpenters always take me back to the line from My Morning Jacket ~ Librarian: Looking for a lesson in the periodicals There I spy you listening to the AM radio Karen of the carpenters, singing in the rain Another lovely victim of the mirror's evil way
Sublime pop mastery.
