Description:
Released in 1971 on Ode Records, Tapestry solidified Carole King’s transition from Brill Building songwriter to a central figure in the singer-songwriter movement of the early ’70s. Living in Laurel Canyon, she recorded the album in Los Angeles with a circle of musicians tied to the era’s countercultural folk-rock scene. Its success coincided with a cultural shift toward introspection after the turbulence of the late ’60s, making King’s plainspoken style resonate with listeners seeking authenticity. For fans of music as art, Tapestry represents the merging of industry craft and personal expression that helped redefine the possibilities of popular songwriting in a politically uncertain period.
