Taylor-King Tour to Reunite Original Musicians

According to the December 10, 2009, issue of Rolling Stone Magazine, next year's "Troubadour Reunion" tour featuring James Taylor and Carole King -- which stops at Tanglewood in Lenox, Mass., on July 3-4 -- will also reunite the duo with the original musicians who performed with Taylor and King at the original Troubadour club gigs in 1970 and on their concurrent breakthrough albums, King's Tapestry album and Taylor's Sweet Baby James.
Longtime Taylor fans will recognize the names Danny "Kootch" Kortchmar (guitar), Leland Sklar (bass) and Russ Kunkel (drums) from Taylor's early albums, as well as from many of the best-selling California folk-pop albums of the 1970s. Kortchmar and Kunkel, as well as Taylor, also appeared on King's landmark album, Tapestry.
Kortchmar's credits include collaborations with Jackson Browne, David Crosby, Graham Nash, Don Henley, the Fugs, Warren Zevon, Linda Ronstadt, Harry Nilsson, and Carly Simon. "Kootch" was a member of the late-1960s band the Flying Machine, which included a then-unknown James Taylor. With Craig Doerge, Kortchmar, Sklar, and Kunkel formed a recording group called The Section in the 1970s.
It has been years, if not decades, since Taylor has performed with this original lineup of musicians
The Rolling Stone article also reports that the setlist for the "Troubadour Reunion" concerts will draw heavily from King's Tapestry album and Taylor's Sweet Baby James, the concurrent albums from that famed 1970s gig at the Los Angeles folk club, the Troubadour, from which the tour takes its name.
