You'll feel the earth move under your feet this week because You've Got A Friend in Carole King! We'll listen to her weave a Tapestry of self-love and heartache on her unprecedented 1971 sophomore album. She was already established as a hit songwriter; we'll talk about her early career and her breakout as a recording artist. The Mixtaper has another journey for us and Where He Leads, we will follow... even if that means facts about Gilmore Girls, her VERY loose ties to Otis Redding, or even reading the phone book‽‽ The whole album feels like a time capsule, like sitting around a piano listening to Carole King play these songs in her living room with Telemachus. Will it be a surefire winner? Can James call his shot in the Year Of Healing? (And if you DIDN'T want us to release this episode, well, It's Too Late, baby, it's too late... We really did try to make it.)
