Carole King - Tapestry




OK, so, five months since my last posting. I had, basically, given up on blogging but I mentioned to someone on twitter recently that I'd had a blog and I thought I'd give it another go with this short entry.

I originally intended to blog about This Album, which I bought after hearing it in full for the first time at a friends, way back, even before some previous posts. However, I couldn't really think of what to say, so I left it and moved on to other stuff.

I think the album suffers two "problems". The first, not a problem really, is that there are some really, justifiably, classic songs on here that'll be familiar to most people. So, beyond the sense of familiarity and recognition, there's little to grab the attention since, and this is the second problem, there are some, justifiably, none classics on here, such as "Smackwater Jack" which sounds really dated.

Ah well, it feels good to have got this one out of the way, in blog terms. We'll have to see whether it's going to spur me on to make further entries???
