 Sam Ulward Album Reviews: Carole King
They've covered songs written by Carole King, a talented singer, songwriter and piano player who just happened to make it big in the early seventies with an album called Tapestry, but had been in the music biz since the late fifties.
Luckily for us, King's characteristical optimism shines through even in the most hopeless situations, whether she is singing about drug addiction ("Haywood") or routine alienation ("Weekdays").
But it's not as horrible as it may seem, mainly because Carole’s melodic sense is as sharp as ever and the inevitable children's vocals are rather bearable.

No Carole King album could ever be called bad -- she's simply not capable of turning in songs that are anything less than melodic and expertly crafted & structured.
The title track is collaboration with Cynthia Weill -- it's a catchy, candyfloss concoction, and something you imagine two songwriters of such stature could well have written in their sleep.
King's lyrics have never been the most celebrated part of her writing, and she's not trying to reinvent herself here, either.
