CAROLE KING - The Living Room Tour (2005)

192

Personnel:
Carole King (vocals, guitar, piano);
Gary Burr, Rudy Guess (vocals, guitar, bass instrument);

Recording information: Auditorium Theatre, Chicago, Illinois (2005); Greek Theatre, Los Angeles, California; Cape Cod Melody Tent, Hyannis, Massachusetts.

Although Carole King's THE LIVING ROOM TOUR was actually recorded in small theaters in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Cape Cod, the famed singer/songwriter is such an engaging, endearing performer that this two-disc set has the up-close, personal intimay of a concert performed in one's living room. Accompanying herself on acoustic guitar and piano, with only occasional electric guitar and bass behind her, King is in fine voice throughout. The program includes a charming pair of new songs, the introductory "Welcome To My Living Room" and the tender "Loving You Forever," as well as a fine selection of solo hits and a few nets from King's days as a Brill Building songwriter. The highlights of those are "Take Good Care of My Baby," with its amusingly discursive medley, and "It Might As Well Rain Until September," although the best moment on the album is King's duet with daughter Louise Goffin on "Where You Lead I Will Follow," famed as the theme for TV's GILMORE GIRLS.
