Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released mere months after the staggering, history-making success of 'Tapestry', the songwriter's third studio album seamlessly continues her dominance of the 1970s soft-rock sound. Featuring the hit single 'Sweet Seasons', the record relies on the same intimate, piano-driven songcraft and incredibly warm, organic session backing. It immediately topped the Billboard charts, proving her deeply personal pop sensibilities were not a fleeting phenomenon.
