Show Notes
For the Imbalanced Brothers, Carole King's "Tapestry" is one of those albums that impacted their lives, albeit from different angles! It shows the evolution of the artist, who started young, as one half of a famous songwriting duo, but who through divorce became a solo act, encouraged by her new friends in Laurel Canyon. The impact of the album goes well-beyond the music. It empowered other women, to follow their singular dreams, to create, to become who they are! Lots of music in this episode, so kick back and enjoy the ride! Add your thoughts on the episodes in Spotify, on our Facebook page, or vial email: [email protected]! Learn more about your ad choices.
