To me, Carole King is just such a staple, like bread, something you have around because it feeds you. Sure, these are songs that have been around and that I have on a variety of other cd's, but I am glad for this collection and for a chance to revisit these songs that have fed me throughout my life. Plus, I just think I'd really like Carole if I ever met her. In a recent interview she was correcting the interviewer, saying she was now 63, not 62 years old. I love that. I'm amazed at the staying power of her songs, after all these years. Great comfort food in this one.
