Like most, I’ve always known and loved Tapestry. For some reason this morning I decided to see what else she released that is well known. To my surprise….nothing?

King had like 18 studio album and somehow not a single one got remotely close to the same level of commercial attention nor critical acclaim. Just looking at music review sites like RYM and Sputnik, even the albums immediately before and after pale in comparison (both in quality and notoriety, apparently).

Anybody have more insight into that? Did her songwriting quality really drop off immediately after Tapestry? Or was that album so good it just forever eclipsed anything else she did?
