Carole King Sings the Songs on Living Room CD

Carole King is probably the best tear-jerker songwriter ever. Her folk-pop tunes border on too cheesey at times, but in a way that just hurts so good. King's candid, lovely lyrics and well-humored onstage persona absolutely shine on this record, which features pretty much every great ballad from the last thirty years - and of course they're all written by King. There's even an impressive medley during "Set One" featuring classics like "Go Away Little Girl" and "One Fine Day."

The Living Room Tour is the most perfect name for the performances that shaped this CD. Carole King is just the sort of person you'd want walking into your living room and sitting down at your piano, leading you in a singalong to her classic hit, "Will You Love Me Tomorrow."
