Carole King - Speeding Time

This month marks the thirtieth anniversary of Speeding Time, the thirteenth album from singer-songwriter Carole King. The record was the first of hers that failed to chart in the US, and it might have led to the six year studio recording hiatus she took until 1989‘s City Streets.

Joining the legendary performer on this record were Bob Glaub (bass), Bobbye Hall (percussion), Plas Johnson (saxophone), Robbie Konodor (synthesizer), Danny Kortchmar (guitar), and Russ Kunkel (drums).
