By next week, I'm hoping to finish up my detailed look at the album Passage. This time out, in the context of my article, I'll be sharing a couple of rare photos, including one I've never shared before: a full color photo of the duo in the studio to record Don't Cry for Me Argentina.
For those of you newer to the Boards, I am one of the fortunate ones who lived through the original peak of the Carpenters popularity, got to see them live in concert, and even met Karen and Richard backstage.
I had written an album review for each one about ten years ago. One day I realized that much like my views on life, my thoughts on the albums had changed as well. So I began a new series . I call it Carpenters Revisited: A Fresh Look at ________________________.
The older reviews are still there. For each review, old and new, I've tried to use a different set of images to tell the story. (There's also tons of stand-alone blog posts on Carpenters.)
Starting with Offering/Ticket to Ride, I've recently completed Live at the Palladium.
In each of these articles, I weave in my story of living in Southern California during that time and also take a look at the music industry and sales charts for the era. I attempt to dig deeper into their career and the impact of each disc.
For any of you who'd like to read one of the other reviews for a taste of it, here's the Fresh Look/Revisited review for Horizon. Hope you enjoy these!
