November 3, 2009 – In 1971, Carole King’s Tapestry was one of the best selling albums of the year. King’s No. 1 hit, It’s Too Late, spent 15 weeks at the top of the charts. She won four Grammy Awards for the record, and it became a landmark album for many baby boomers.
Tapestry has since become one of the biggest selling albums of all time.
Now, the singer-songwriter is focused on environmental activism, and is working to push Congress to pass a bill to help the Northern Rockies. Carole King talks with Rebecca Roberts about her work to protect the land and natural resources of the mountain west, and her legendary album.

now playing: all songs considered / bjork November 3, 2009
Icelandic singer Bjork chats with All Songs Considered host Bob Boilen about some of her favorite artists and spins an eclectic mix of music, from Syrian musician Omar Souleyman to Russia’s neo-folk group The Pokrovsky Ensemble and the wildly eccentric London-based rock group Micachu and the Shapes. Bjork’s latest album is Votaic, a collection of live, studio performances of songs from past albums, including Medulla, Post, and Vespertine.
Thank You, Darius Rucker September 10, 2009
[Darius] Rucker’s signature contribution to the band is his barritone voice that Rolling Stone called “ingratiating,”[7] TIME called “low, gruff, [and] charismatic,”[4] and Entertainment Weekly characterized as a “barrelhouse growl.”[8] He brought additional attention as the sole African-American member of rock band with otherwise white members. Rucker said they “flipped” the formula of the all black band with a white frontman, like Frank Sinatra performing with Count Basie.[6] Musically, he was sometimes criticized or spoofed for not being “black enough”.[5] Saturday Night Live ran a sketch of Rucker leading beer-drinking, white, frat boys in a counter-march to Louis Farrakhan’s Million Man March.[4][9] He also received death threats for singing the Hootie song “Drowning,” a protest song against the flying of the Confederate flag above the South Carolina statehouse.[4] The other band members were protective of Rucker in regards to the issue, and had a policy of generally ignoring racists and their comments.[5]
