1001 Albums Summary

TAPESTRY - Carole King (1971) - Album 1/1001 This is the first album I've listened to on the quest to try to get all 1001 Albums in - and, admittedly, the first time I've ever listened to it in full. Man, I'm so late to the party. There are so many hits on this one I didn't realize /were/ Carole King's. I heard these songs covered, yes, but hearing the full-fledged actual versions brings so much more depth and luster to the music. I wasn't familiar with Carole King's work before listening to Tapestry, but it's an easy, calming, beautiful album. A bit too easy in some parts, but overall a genuinely nice album.
