What the Riff?!?
1971 - September: Carole King "Tapestry"

What the Riff?!?

Play Episode Listen Later May 5, 2025 34:48


Many mark the start of the singer-songwriter genre to have begun when Carole King released her second studio album, the iconic Tapestry. As would be expected from a singer-songwriter, all of the songs on the album were either written or co-written by King.  Tapestry is considered one of the greatest albums of all time in the soft rock genre.Born Carol Joan Klein in Manhattan, King began piano lessons at four years of age.  Her upbringing included friendship with Paul Simon and dating Neil Sedaka.  In the 50's at the age of 17 she met and married Jerry Goffin with whom she would team up on songwriting through the 60's - King writing the music and Goffin writing the lyrics.  They had several successful songs during the 60's including "Pleasant Valley Sunday" (The Monkees), "I'm Into Something Good" (Herman's Hermits), and "Up On the Roof" (the Drifters).  King and Goffin divorced by 1968, and King moved to Laurel Canyon in Los Angeles to re-start her recording career.Tapestry features both new and old songs of Carole King's catalog.  Several new friends from the Laurel Canyon area appear on the album, including James Taylor and Joni Mitchell.  Fellow songwriter Toni Stern co-wrote two of the songs, including the hit "It's Too Late."The album was a hit, spending 313 weeks on the Billboard Charts (second only to "Dark Side of the Moon" in time on the chart).  It also was a critical success, taking the Grammy for Album of the Year at the 1972 Grammy awards.  King announced her retirement from music in May 2012, but has done a few things since then, including a live performance of Tapestry in Hyde Park in 2016.  Friend of the show Greg Lyon sits in for Wayne while Bruce presents this soft rock album for this week's podcast.TapestryThe title track to the album is a look back on life as a colorful combination of threads woven into a picture or pattern, but not one intended to last.  This is a deeper cut which was not released as a single.Where You LeadSeveral songs became hits for other artists while the album was still on the charts, including this one.  Barbara Streisand recorded this song for her 1971 album, and it reached number 40.  The song takes its inspiration from the book of Ruth in the Bible.  It was also the theme song for the television series "Gilmore Girls."  Toni Stern collaborated with King to write this song.  You've Got a FriendThis is another song which became a hit for another artist.  James Taylor did this on his 1971 album, "Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon," making it to number 1 on the US charts.  The two albums were being produced concurrently, and Taylor, Joni Mitchell, and Danny Kortchmar perform on both King's version and on Taylor's version.  King has said the song is a response to the line in James Taylor's "Fire and Rain" which says "I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend."  So Far AwayJames Taylor is on acoustic guitar for this piece, and King is on piano.  It went to number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was on the charts in September 1971.  It starts with a focus on the physical distance between lovers, then moves on to emotional distance.  ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Main theme from the serial Danger Island (from the television series “The Banana Splits Adventure Hour”) This live action 10-minute adventure short appeared as a part of "The Banana Splits Adventure Hour," which concluded this month. STAFF PICKS:Ain't No Sunshine by Bill WithersLynch leads off the staff picks with Withers' breakthrough single from his debut album, "Just As I Am."  The inspiration for this song was the 1962 film "Days of Wine and Roses," which portrays two characters who were alcoholics.  The idea is that someone may not be right for you, but you miss them regardless.  Signs by Five Man Electrical Band"And the sign said 'long haired freaky people need not apply!"  Rob brings us a signature song from a Canadian band.  The song originally appeared as a B-side to a less successful song called "Hello Melinda Goodbye," but became successful on its own.  Frontman Les Emerson wrote this song after seeing so many billboards in Los Angeles which obscured the natural scenery.Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get by The DramaticsGreg features the title song from the debut album of R&B group The Dramatics.  This song contrasting the fakeness of people with the authenticity of the singer went to number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 3 on the R&B chart.  It fuses a Motown feel with a Latin undertone.Thin Line Between Love and Hate by The PersuadersBruce brings us a cautionary tale about a guy who comes home late at night, finding his girl smiling and ready to cook him some dinner.  He learns his lesson when he wakes up in the hospital, beaten to within an inch of his life.  This song by a New York R&B group made it to number 15 on the US charts.  INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:The Rock by Atomic RoosterWe close out with an instrumental from a British rock band originally co-formed by prog rock organist Vincent Crane and percussionist Carl Palmer.

In Zeiten, wo die Kunst Algorithmen und einer Streaming-Logik unterworfen wird, fällt die Eigenständigkeit dieses Londoner Singer Songwriters doppelt auf: Benjamin Clementine fasziniert ein breites Publikum mit melancholischer Stimmgewalt, poetischen Texten und stilübergreifender Musik. Auch der Karrierestart des Autodidakten ist ungewöhnlich: Als 20jähriger zieht Clementine mit gebrochenem Herzen nach Paris, wo er Texte schreibt, als Strassenmusiker arbeitet und einige Jahre in Obdachlosigkeit lebt. In der Métro wird er per Zufall entdeckt und an einen Produzenten vermittelt, mit dem er bis heute arbeitet. Der 190cm grosse Londoner mit ghanaischen Wurzeln spielt gerne in Anzügen und barfuss stehend am Piano und hat eine ganz eigene Art, mit seinem Publikum in Kontakt zu treten. Mit Nina Simone und Bill Withers wird der heute 36jährige verglichen; seiner Verpflichtung der Lyrik gegenüber wegen auch mit Leonard Cohen. Schon für sein Debut-Album gewinnt Clementine den renommierten Mercury Prize. Unterdessen ist er Vater von zwei kleinen Kindern und lebt mit seiner Partnerin in Kalifornien, wo er erste Erfahrungen als Schauspieler sammelt. Sein neues und viertes Album werde sein letztes musikalisches Werk sein, lässt er verlauten. Den Release allerdings hat Clementine nun gerade verschoben, da unterdessen neue wichtige Ideen aufgekommen seien. Die anstehende Tour, die ihn auch nach Zürich bringt, könnte seine letzte sein. Über die Eigenständigkeit von Benjamin Clementine und über seine künstlerische Vision diskutiert Annina Salis in der Jazz Collection mit der Zürcher Singer Songwriterin Andrina Bollinger.

The music festival promoters hustle hard to secure a plane to Zaire. Finally on board, all the artists are nearly killed by James Brown and his oversized ego. Despite the high drama, the flight is a magical experience for all aboard when the musicians turn the plane into an epic jam session. This shared joy carries the crew through to Zaire. Upon arrival, they are greeted by the drums and voices of The Motherland. Meanwhile, fight promoters scramble to rearrange the weekend after Foreman’s cut and, in doing so, find out who President Mobutu really is.

“Dude, you know you can donate plasm…” Because of the obvious “Halloween tingle” wafting through the Bunkerpoon, we decided to finish out “the month of Halloween” with a rrrrrevisitation of the grrrrreen tinted, goth infused, Sabbath inspired doom metal druids hailing from Brooklyn, New York known as TYPE-O-NEGATIVE.    To be fair, “technically” we have already done an INSIDE THE METAL featuring TYPE-O, but that's been (approximately) 3 years and 10 days ago, and A LOT has changed since then, not only with regard to the world at large but also with the quality of this podcast as well. Having said that, we felt that discussing more TYPE-O-NEGATIVE made perfect sense, as their catalog (and our podcast) is all about “thickness and girth.”   HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO ALL!!!  It's time to put on your “platfoam shoes” and get ready to r-r-r-r-r-roll your R's while trick or treating with “Tom Johnson” during our “pre-Chronicles Chronicles” Halloween event in the Bunkerpoon Dungeon. Remember that “Summer's Eve” is not the same as “Summer Breeze”, discover the proper way to prepare “a handheld” and JOIN US via the “Interdimensional Bunkerpoon Portal” as we go (BACK) INSIDE THE METAL (AGAIN) with TYPE-O-NEGATIVE.   Visit www.metalnerdery.com/podcast for more on this episode   Help Support Metal Nerdery https://www.patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast Leave us a Voicemail to be played on a future episode: 980-666-8182   Metal Nerdery Tees and Hoodies – metalnerdery.com/merch and kindly leave us a review and/or rating on the iTunes/Apple Podcasts - Spotify or your favorite Podcast app Listen on iTunes, Spotify, Podbean, or wherever you get your Podcasts.

Checking Russ Taff's Cover Story (with Taff, Steve Taylor and John Mark Painter)

            6-time Grammy winner Russ Taff's voice has defined the emotional potential of Gospel music for over half a century. His perfectly raspy tenor transcends genre and era, first as the lead vocalist for Gospel legends The Imperials, then as a phenomenally successful solo artist. That legacy now takes on a whole new depth as Taff unveils Cover Story, a collection of rock, soul, and Americana songs that resonate deeply with the struggles he has privately endured throughout his life onstage. Longtime fans may be surprised to find the Gospel singer interpreting tunes by The National, Prince, Blind Willie Johnson, Bob Dylan, U2, Duran Duran, Bill Withers, Paul Simon, and others. However, students of Roots Gospel, Americana, Soul, and Blues will immediately see the thread. These are songs of spiritual survival. (Don't miss executive producer Steve Taylor's Kickstarter campaign to release the project on vinyl and raise funds to promote it to a wide audience.)               In a surprising – and risky – move for a Gospel singer, Taff decided to go public with his long struggle with addiction, recovery, relapse, and ultimate inner healing via the revealing 2018 documentary Russ Taff: I Still Believe. Instead of ending his career singing in churches and at Bill Gaither's Homecoming events, audiences responded with deep appreciation for his candor and humility. A recent conversation on the recovery-themed Soft White Underbelly YouTube channel is currently generating similar enthusiasm. Taff, now 18 years sober and free of the need to hide anything, is more excited than ever to share music – and his story – with audiences around the country and the world.         Taylor, (the artist, professor, songwriter, producer, and filmmaker connected to projects by Sixpence None The Richer, Newsboys, Chevelle, and others) had pulled his critically acclaimed but ill-fated mainstream rock band Chagall Guevara (MCA) together for a one-time reunion show at Nashville's historic Ryman Auditorium. A special post-show afterparty at Jack White's Blue Room included an on-stage jam with several musical luminaries, including Taff (who had worked with Chagall members Lynn Nichols and Dave Perkins on several projects.) Taff's impromptu jam on Charlie Peacock's “Down In The Lowlands” thrilled the small crowd. Hearing Taff slay those songs, Taylor remembered an idea his longtime friend, bandmate, and musical collaborator John Mark Painter had suggested much earlier. What if they took their old friend into a recording studio with a slate of great songs and captured that raw, guttural energy and emotional honesty? They have now done just that. We are thrilled to sit down with Taff, Taylor, and Painter on this very special episode of the podcast, and to give our audience a first listen to Cover Story.   BACK the Kickstarter Campaign HERE (closes September 9th, 2024)   For the full list of songs, links, and a video of the infamous "Down In The Lowlands" jam at Jack White's Blue room, see the full Show Notes at TrueTunes.com/Russ   Get all of the info about host John J Thompson's new novel “The Ballad of the Lost Dogs of East Nashville” at TrueTunes.com/ballad.     If you want to support the show, please join our Patreon community or drop us a one-time tip and check out our NEW MERCH!

“I really think that the past, we can go back to it and we definitely learn lessons because I'm always a hindsight person. So in hindsight, I'm always thinking that, okay, what could I have done better? But the past experiences for me, I've learned as I've gotten older, is to grab the lesson. And hopefully there's a blessing in there too. And then move on. I used to stay stuck in the past and try to understand why, why, why, why, why I would spend so much time, Elise, that I'm never getting back or why did this person do that? Why did this happen? Why did they treat me this way? And really try to unpack all of their baggage. And what I've learned is the “why” doesn't even really matter. It's, you know, what is the lesson for me? What is the lesson for my soul that I need right now?” So says Nicole Avant, a philanthropist, filmmaker, and former diplomat. In her recent memoir, Think You'll Be Happy, Nicole describes attending to the grief and shock of her mother's unthinkable murder—she was shot in the back by a home intruder in 2021—by creating a living legacy in her honor. Her mom, Jacqueline Avant, had turned her Los Angeles home into a refuge for artists, politicians, and world-changers as the partner to Nicole's father, entertainment mogul Clarence Avant, who is the subject of Nicole's beautiful documentary,The Black Godfather. Nicole grew up sitting at the feet of extraordinary artists like Bill Withers, Oprah Winfrey, Quincy Jones, Sidney Poitier watching as her parents navigated the world to make it better for future generations. In today's conversation, we talk about that legacy—as well as Nicole's relationship to the divine. Like her parents, she is a master connector—putting people together to see what unfolds.

It was November 30, 2021, when Nicole Avant got a call in the middle of the night from her husband. The unthinkable had happened. Her otherwise healthy mom, Jacqueline Avant, was in critical condition at the hospital. She had been shot. Nicole would soon find out that her mother had been having an ordinary evening at her home in Beverly Hills when a man broke into her home in an attempted robbery. He shot Jacqueline, and then fled the scene. She died later that night in the hospital. Jacqueline was 81. It was an unspeakable tragedy that would leave most people paralyzed, enraged and probably seeking revenge. But Nicole's response surprised a lot of people. She decided that she's not a victim, and she would forgive her mother's murderer.  She shares this radical sentiment in her new book: “Think You'll be Happy: Moving Through Grief with Grit, Grace, and Gratitude.” For those unfamiliar with Nicole, she is someone who wears many hats. She served as U.S. ambassador to the Bahamas under President Obama—and she was the first black woman to hold this seat. She's been a force in political fundraising. She raised more than half a million for President Obama in one night in 2012, and she was part of a fundraising team that raised $21 million for him in 2008. She's also a movie producer, which isn't exactly surprising considering she was born into black Hollywood royalty—her father was Clarence Avant, the legendary music mogul who managed artists like Bill Withers, Sarah Vaughan, and Freddie Hubbard. Today, she finds herself again a part of Hollywood royalty, just of more recent vintage. Her husband is Netflix Co-Ceo Ted Sarandos. But unlike the British royals, Nicole Avant doesn't put her views through a PR machine. She says what she thinks, and she doesn't have time for bullshit. All of which is why we were so eager to have her on Honestly today.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
