| | Carole King Living Room Tour CD Carole King Discography of CDs
 (7 Customer Reviews)
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 intimacy 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 nuggets 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.

Carole King Great
This is one of the best CDs I have ever purchased. I Love Oldies, Carole King still does a great job singing songs she sang before and also singing songs she wrote. We have played it over and over.

Living Room Tour songs
$14.79
Remember how startlingly like his late father Julian Lennon sounded on his first single, "Valotte"? Well, the undeniable truth is that Texas-born singer/songwriter Colin Gilmore's South Plains twang is equally similar to that of his semi-legendary father, Lubbock mystic Jimmie Dale Gilmore. Yet, overall, Gilmore's debut album, The Day the World Stopped and Spun the Other Way, is strong enough and different enough (in a way that Julian Lennon's albums never were) from his dad's body of work that the vocal comparison becomes beside the point. This is a pop album with a few rootsy country touches, more along the lines of Marshall Crenshaw or Nick Lowe's recent work; even the one nod to Lubbock's rich musical history is a bluesy cover of eclectic eccentric Terry Allen's story-song "The Beautiful Waitress" instead of, say, one of Butch Hancock's more traditional-sounding tunes. (The album's other cover is a straightforward and unfortunately rather pointless version of the Clash's "White Man in Hammersmith Palais," which at least shows admirable bravado.) Gilmore has a knack for catchy choruses, and the album's loose, live-in-the-studio sound suits the unpretentious tunes. ~ Stewart Mason
It will take only one listen to Colin Gilmore's excellent new CD "The Day The World Stopped And Spun The Other Way" to hear that he's got his own distinctive sound. It's a disc with a variety of influences and styles - like most great Texas singer/songwriters, he just can't stand in one place - but it all comes across in a way that is refreshing, wide-eyed and thoroughly listenable.Besides the musical mixed bag, what immediately hits you is a lyrical sophistication that belies Gilmore's relatively young age. "Every Tear" imagines the tough times his grandparents went through growing cotton in West Texas in the early part of the 20th Century, while "Good Times Stay" describes the universal desire for unending happiness.Colin, who is the son of renowned Texas singer and songwriter Jimmie Dale Gilmore, spent his early years in Lubbock and, looking back, he realizes that at the time, he thought there was little of value about the place. "There were only football players or complete thugs and I was one of the thugs," he recalls. "It seemed that there was nothing there. Just stuff to rebel against. I was a poor kid in a rich kid's school because of the area I was in. Everything thing had a nice shiny smile to it, but it was really mean underneath." It was around that time that his older sister Elyse turned him on to punk. "To me, punk was the opposite of what I saw in Lubbock. So growing up I had my ...
