The Living Room Tour is a live album by Carole King released in 2005. It consists of live recordings of most of the songs from Tapestry . Her daughters Louise and Sherry and background singer and guitarist Gary Burr joined her on several songs. This album debuted at #17 in the US, becoming King's highest-charting album since 1977. That was largely due to television advertisements and that it was available in Starbucks retailers.
For the week of July 18, 2005, it was the #1 album on Amazon, [2] and it was the #2 album of July 2005 on Amazon. [3] In its first week, The Living Room Tour sold 44,000 copies in the United States, and has since sold over 330,000 copies in the United States. [4] [5]
In August 2006, the album re-entered the Billboard 200 at #151, because it was once again available in all Starbucks locations in the US.
