A discussion of Tapestry as a watershed in musical and cultural history, challenging the male dominance of the music and entertainment industries.
Loren Glass is Professor of English at the University of Iowa, USA, with a joint appointment in the Center for the Book. He is the author of Authors Inc.: Literary Celebrity in the Modern United States (2004) and Counter-Culture Colophon: Grove Press, the Evergreen Review and the Incorporation of the Avant-Garde (2013), and co-editor of the Post45 series.
In providing an effective history of King’s career and influence,
Glass helps to make clear why the anniversary of Tapestry is worthy
of celebration.
*Spectrum Culture*
As with much of the series, the personal is interwoven with the
prevailing moods of the era. Still, Glass succeeds in telling us
much more about Tapestry itself.
*The Irish Times*
An easy and enjoyable read… A must-have for fans but also for the
interested reader as the book examines the times and the context of
a seminal album.
*Americana UK*
Published to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Carole King’s
album Tapestry, Loren Glass makes the case for the record heralding
a wave of female singer-songwriters that challenged not just a
male-dominated music industry but also outdated notions of how ‘the
chicks’ should and could express themselves.
