With her 2004 tour (her first in many years), Carole King chose an ambiance that fit her music perfectly - the living room. An artist who has built a career on thought-provoking and very personal music, the sound of King's voice is akin to a comfortable blanket - it wraps around you and fills you with nostalgic warmth. This two-disc live set features many of the golden hits of the legendary singer's prime years, including several songs from her multi-platinum "Tapestry" album. Instrumentation-wise, the album takes the "unplugged" approach, stripping the songs down to their bare-essentials to give the audience the feeling of intimacy. King, who was 62 at the time of this recording, sounds quite strong and still sings with an enormous amount of passion and heart.
