Artist: Carole King
Album: Tapestry
Year: 1971
One of the major players in the pop rock movement of the sixties and seventies, Carole King was a songwriter ready to start playing her own material rather than letting others. She is not a particularly strong vocalist, but this a collection of songs that could be considered standards nowadays. You've probably heard the majority of songs on this album, and King proves to be a masterful songwriter. Not a bad choice if you're into those songs your parents played on the radio when you were a kid, blues piano or well-written pop rock by one of the masters herself. Highlights are "I Feel The Earth Move", "So Far Away", "It's Too Late" and my personal favorite "Tapestry".

In a strange coincidence, my father just saw Carole King in concert for his birthday last night.
