Tapestry-Legacy Edition

Album Description

Carole King is a legendary songwriter who has crafted a myriad of hit songs for other artists but by writing and performing her own material she charted new ground with Tapestry. Now you can experience Carole's vision in its original "unplugged" brilliance. This deluxe 2 CD Legacy Edition features previously unreleased live piano-voice renditions of Tapestry songs in the original album sequence. A runaway-train success, this landmark album stayed on the national charts for a mind-boggling six years and won King four Grammys®. "I Feel The Earth Move," "It's Too Late" and "So Far Away" were heard everywhere in the '70s on a string of newly-minted FM radio stations featuring adult-oriented rock.
"You'll hear suggested guitar and bass lines, and background vocal parts, because that's the way she plays the piano...that was the brilliance of her demos and that's the way I heard these songs for the first time." Lou Adler, producer
