About this album

Simple Things shows Carole King turning her strengths into lean, graceful soft rock rather than chasing grand statements. Released in 1977, the album is built around her melodic touch, clear piano-led arrangements and an unforced vocal style that keeps the songs intimate and direct. Its folk-rock and pop-rock leanings place it squarely in the post-singer-songwriter mainstream, where King’s gift for making personal feeling sound effortless remained the central attraction. With songs such as the title track and Hold On, the record reinforces her reputation as one of the era’s most reliable and humane songwriters.
