Legendary Demos Reviews
| 27 of 29 people found the following review helpful  Boy, could this woman pitch a song..., By This review is from: Legendary Demos (Audio CD) ...and could she ever write hits! Over 100 of which would grace Billboard's top 100 ranking.If you remember the sounds of the 60's and 70's and you enjoyed Carole King or the songs she penned for other artists, you will love this CD. The production sounds just like I what I remember, but yet more alive (some of us only had AM radio, not FM). The feel of the production is not at all like what you would find in most modern recordings, but I really like that quality. These cuts are raw, they are meant to be. They are demos. Simple, yet very interesting and intimate. And nostalgic. Her vocals and piano dominate, for the many tracks. While listening to this CD, at times, I felt like I had stumbled into a practice room or a studio that King happened to be playing in, and I mean that in a good way. Everytime I hear Carole King performing the songs that she has written, I feel like I am living in an alternate universe. How in the world can...

You FEEL like you're sitting next to you, witnessing the making of a successful 'natural woman'. Hence, the beauty of demos-we have the joy of experiencing her first thoughts in rough sketches. This album effectively showcases her early talent and the talent that would evolve as a solo artist starting off with The City and later with Writer and the commercial success of Tapestry, which some songs are presented on this cd. If you are a fan of Carole King or meaningful music, look no further and purchase one right away. Totally worth it. 11 of 12 people found the following review helpful Going Back with Carole King, By This review is from: Legendary Demos (Audio CD) "The Legendary Demos" sounds so excellent, it is a really a great gift to the listener. By going back Carole brings something very new. I believe many listeners will feel this is really the "Essential Carole King". I very much enjoy the songs here- that i have never heard, "Yours Until Tomorrow" is really wonderful. I have never really been a fan of Demos being released, but i will now have to rethink that belief. Carole King has given her listeners a lifetime of wonderful music, from yesterday right up to now. It is my hope Carole will continue to release new material along with the vintage. |
