5 out of 5 stars Undiscovered First Carole King Album!.......2006-12-05

I'm always checking Amazon for new and used albums by my favorite artists, and this one came up under Carole King's name. I decided to purchase it. I'm really impressed. The tunes 'Snow Queen', 'Hi-De-Ho', and, 'I Wasn't Born To Follow' are the best. In fact, I've decided to obtain all of her albums because she really is the best of the 70's female singer songwriters whose music holds up so well today. I can also highly recommend Carole's 'Living Room Tour', and 'Natural Woman' CDs.

5 out of 5 stars First Carole King Album & one of the best.......2004-12-31

I bought this in vinyl when it was new, and before King became a solo star. I was stunned. I was equally surprised that it had been reissued, as it is never mentioned in articles about Carole King. The sound is wonderful and clean: no fancy mixing, just some great folk/rock tunes sung for fun. As others noted, Danny Kortchmar, who continued to back King & James Taylor in live concerts in the early 70s plays guitar & sings one song. Pretty good stuff. But the world realized that King was the star, and this band disappeared. It has all of King's voice, without the overmixing that became part of her later commercial successes. Definitely should be added to the Carole King collection, but judging from how far down the list of King albums is it on Amazon, not many people know of it even now.

5 out of 5 stars Hidden Treasure.......2004-03-19

This is beautiful, near-perfect record. It should have been a huge hit. All the ingredients which made "Tapestry" so popular a few years later are here: catchy songs driven by Carole King's piano riffs, great harmonies, and a brilliant backing band. In fact I prefer this to her solo records - this album is a little less self-consciously sensitive than her seventies singer-songwriter period. The album has a relaxed, fun, pop-ish feeling, like a folksy "Pet Sounds", and the arrangements are a lot more punchy - imagine if The Band or maybe Big Brother and Holding Co. had backed Carole up on Tapestry instead of James Taylor etc....With Carole King pounding away on piano, organ, and harpsichord, it's beautiful.
A neglected classic, if you have any interest in Carole King this is required listening.

4 out of 5 stars pretty darn good..........2002-01-22

It's difficult to believe this album was out of print for 30 years prior to its 1998 reissue, especially given Carole King's popularity in the 70's. This is for all intents and purposes her first solo album - she co-wrote and sings lead on all but one of the songs. Stylistically, it's closer to _Tapestry_ than many of the albums she released after it. The arrangements are pretty organic (guitar, bass, keyboards, drums), and there's a sort of late 60's optimism and enthusiasm here that is refreshing. Of course, top to bottom, it doesn't quite match up to the aforementioned 1971 masterpiece, but "Wasn't Born to Follow", "Victim of Circumstance", "Hi-de-Ho", and the title cut are all excellent, and "Snow Queen" is a standout. Danny Kortchmar's vocal turn on "Man Without a Dream" is also quite enjoyable.
