The hottest tour this summer is "The Troubadour Reunion Tour" featuring Carol King and James Taylor. Both hall of fame members as songwriters and performers, this may be the last time to see these two legendary performers together. Having seen the show, I can tell you, this is one show ANY fan of the music from this era has GOT to see. Read all about it here...

James Taylor is a fantastic entertainer, but I will never pay money to see Carole King. I had some business dealings with her about 18 years ago and she is a shrew of the first order.

Didn’t like them then and haven’t changed a bit.

But to dismiss James Taylor or Carole King as merely troubadours would be like saying a Ferrari is merely a car

Ever hear of Anna Netrebko? Look I liked Carole King, but to compare her (or James Taylor) to a Ferrari is an ignorant joke.

They wrote some amazing songs, and had some incredible hits that they personally sang.

I sing “Whenever I See Your Smiling Face” to my little ones when they wake up in the morning.

Still, it bugs me that he was apparently nodding off on heroin on Sesame Street, and she is such a leftie. Argh. But when they shut up and sing, it’s all good.

I read an interesting book about ladies of their era - Carole, Joni Mitchell, and Carly Simon.

If Carole and James make a DVD of their concerts, they can sell them as a cure for insomnia!!!

James Taylor makes me want to reach for the barf bag. Carole King? There was this one summer when all they played on the radio were songs from that album, Tapestry. Probably 1972 or thereabouts. I got my fill then - don’t need any more.

I used to like both James Taylor and Carole King. But something inside has died and I just can’t hide and I just can’t fake it. They no longer have me for a friend, Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall. So goodnight you moonlight ladies, I won’t be rockabyeing Sweet Baby James down on Copperline. They can walk on down the country road for all I care. The earth won’t move under my feet and the sky won’t tumble down whenever they’re around. Smackwater Jack has left the station.
