Reviews

Carole King: Tapestry

By Christian John Wikane

Tapestry: Legacy Edition is the definitive genuflection to Carole King's 1971 masterpiece. Nearly 40 years later, it's still a thrill to feel the earth move. [25 April 2008]

Carole King: Welcome to My Living Room [DVD]

By Tom Useted

As fine as the music is, Carole King's efforts to engage her audience are the real reason this modest delight works as well as it does. [19 December 2007]

Carole King: Love Makes the World

By Evan Sawdey

King's new music will inevitably be compared to Tapestry, a monolith that not even King herself can get past. [10 October 2007]
