Writer is the most underrated of all of Carole King's original albums in that it was completely ignored when it came out in 1971 and didn't really start to sell until Tapestry whetted everyone's appetite for her work. It's an album of its time in both King's life and career and the music of its era - singer/songwrite rs were still something new and in 1970 it was assumed that anyone in rock had to tend toward the extrovert and flashy to attract attention. Thus Writer has a somewhat louder sound than the relatively lean introspective strains of Tapestry which followed. "Spaceship Races" which opens the record features Danny Kootch Kortchmar playing full-out electric guitar chopping and crunching away with his amp turned way up and King belting out a number behind his bluesy licks that makes her sound like Grace Slick and the song come off like a pounding (and good) Jefferson Airplane number of the same era with a great vocal hook at the end of the verses. "No Easy Way Down" with its soulful instrumental and backing arrangement calls to mind not only her own "Natural Woman" as done by Aretha Franklin but also (in terms of New York white women belting out soul) Laura Nyro at her best and it's also a great tune with a killer performance by King whose wailing voice is extraordinarily powerful here. "Child of Mine" is the closest that the album gets to the voice that she found on Tapestry while "Goin' Back" gives a more personal and elegant take to a song that is otherwise thoroughly identified with the Byrds; and "To Love" has King diving into country music which she pulls off with exceptional grace the song's title referring to a beguilingly innocent and free-spirited chorus that once heard stays with you. Even the least interesting of the songs here Epic
