4.0 out of 5 stars
It’s pretty darn hard to improve on a classic,
By Amanda Richards (Georgetown, Guyana) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Tapestry Revisited: Tribute to Carole King (Audio CD)
One of the best albums of the ‘70s, redone by some of the best talents in the business. It’s pretty darn hard to improve on a classic, but Rod Stewart, Aretha Franklin, Amy Grant, Richard Marx, Celine Dion, the Bee Gees and Bebe and Cece Winans, among others certainly give it their best shot.
Rod Stewart singing “So Far Away” is a classic by itself, but also look for Richard Marx’ version of “Beautiful”; Bebe and Cece Winans (with Aretha Franklin) putting a world of soul into “You've Got A Friend”; Faith Hill’s “Where You Lead” and the Bee Gees’ “Will You Love Me Tomorrow?”. The Manhattan Transfer also perform a great “Smackwater Jack”. Not quite the original, but a very reasonable facsimile thereof Amanda Richards, March 4, 2006

Great,
By Caitlin (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tapestry Revisited: Tribute to Carole King (Audio CD)
Carole King's "Tapestry" is an absolute masterpiece! No tribute album will ever come close to matching the brilliance that Carole puts into her own music, but "Tapestry Revisited" was a pleasant surprise. I must admit that I was bored through a couple of the versions of the songs ("You've Got a Friend", "It's Too Late".) But there were some outstanding covers. Rod Stewart's, "So Far Away" is awesome! Love Rod's voice on the song. The best, however, is the Bee Gees version of "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow". The harmonies at the very beginning of the song are remarkable, and Barry Gibb's non-falsetto lead vocal is amazing. It's the only song on the album that I think is better than the original. This CD will be a wonderful addition to any music lover's collection.

Excellent Collection!,
By Martin A Hogan "Marty From SF" (San Francisco, CA. (Hercules)) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (2008 HOLIDAY TEAM) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Tapestry Revisited: Tribute to Carole King (Audio CD)
If you can imagine all these artists singing their own versions of Carole King's fantastic "Tapestry", you won't be surprised. Every singer or group remains true to their style while interpreting King's greatest album. Yet, all the songs remain as fresh as the day King recorded them.Rod Stewart got the most airplay with his version of "So Far Away" and it is well deserved. The Bee Gees do a wonderfully spiritual (if slightly over-produced) version of "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?" Celine Dion succeeds admirably with "Natural Woman" and the Manhattan Transfer still have their touch with "Smackwater Jack", a lively, bouncy, finger clicking rendition. The booklet is full of great notes, photos and lyrics. It may not be a jewel box, but is still an original in all repsects.
