So Far Away - Carol King's Live Performance Reissued,
This review is from: So Far Away (Live) (MP3 Download)
Carol King was always a great live performer, adding to her considerable talents in songwriting. Now that the Tapestry album has been reissued, a new generation of people get to experience this for themselves.
This particular song is a key work for Carole King, instantly powerful and recognizable. It's hard to not think of James Taylor going on tour this summer when you hear Carol King sing. They were each key singer songwriters and it's nice to hear this music again. If you haven't gotten this yet, take advantage now. Enjoy.

A Little Ripped Off,
By MJ (Aberystwyth, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: So Far Away (Audio CD)
To be honest as a UK citizen I feel a little bit cheated here as the single version of 'So Far Away' doesn't have the exclusive track Novocain that the American version does it just has a live version of Mudshovel. Also it has a somewhat pointless 'Radio Edit'of 'So Far Away' which is only around 20 seconds shorter than the original. I don't know what purpose the edit was for as I never heard it played on UK radio once and to the best of my knowledge the track failed to make the UK top 75 singles. The additional homegrown footage is quite nice though, carrying on from where the footage on 14 Shades of Grey's bonus DVD left off. This single was released on two formats in the UK. Available seperately is a DVD which has the video plus an acoustic version of Zoe Jane recorded for KROQ and is better value for money than this.

Signature tune, but there are better performances,

This review is from: So Far Away (Live) (MP3 Download)
I don't think the original studio recording from the Tapestry album can be beat, actually. This live performance is fine, though the sound quality is not as good as I had hoped. You might check out a different live recording of this tune from Carole King's The Living Room album. For me, that performance and the recording quality are superior to this track.
