Album Notes & Community Reviews

Capitalizing on the cultural phenomenon surrounding 'Tapestry', this retrospective compiles the most enduring piano-pop anthems of the legendary Brill Building alumna. The confessional warmth and immense commercial accessibility of her solo material perfectly soundtracked the widespread, introspective shift of 1970s soft rock.
