Carole's Beginnings
It really is the foundation of her growth from an great songwriter to writer/singer. If you like Carole King, or her Music, you will want this album. Check out her "Snow Queen" on this CD to future performances on later CD's. A bit uneven, it still is a real personal look into the future of Carole.


"Snow Queen" is worth the price of the album!


It is a King/Goffin classic with a killer melody,
an airy chord progression, and soaring harmonies. Although there are some other nice tracks on the album, the opening track,
"Snow Queen", is an absolute knockout, overshadowing (in my opinion) the rest of the songs.

Carole has a good later version by herself (done live),
but it lacks the full arrangement and wonderful harmonies of this
first and original version of the song, by Carole and The City from 1969.

Here it is in LO-FI on youtube:

Undiscovered First Carole King Album!
I decided to purchase it. I'm always checking Amazon for new and used albums by my favorite artists, and this one came up under Carole King's name. I'm really impressed. The tunes 'Snow Queen', 'Hi-De-Ho', and, 'I Wasn't Born To Follow' are the best. In fact, I've decided to obtain all of her albums because she really is the best of the 70's female singer songwriters whose music holds up so well today. I can also highly recommend Carole's 'Living Room Tour', and 'Natural Woman' CDs.


Give her a try...
I really love her music. I was introduced to Carole King by my father. This is her first credited album. She did it with her second husband and friend. I like " Snow Queen. " "Wasn't Born To Follow" is very wonderful. "Hi De Ho" isn't bad. A little jazzy, but a very good album. .


First Carole King Album & one of the best
I was stunned. I bought this in vinyl when it was new, and before King became a solo star. I was equally surprised that it had been reissued, as it is never mentioned in articles about Carole King. The sound is wonderful and clean: no fancy mixing, just some great folk/rock tunes sung for fun. As others noted, Danny Kortchmar, who continued to back King & James Taylor in live concerts in the early 70s plays guitar & sings one song. Pretty good stuff. But the world realized that King was the star, and this band disappeared. It has all of King's voice, without the overmixing that became part of her later commercial successes. Definitely should be added to the Carole King collection, but judging from how far down the list of King albums is it on Amazon, not many people know of it even now.
