Singer-songwriters James Taylor and Carole King have announced dates for the US leg of their much-anticipated Troubadour Reunion tour.
The dates mark the 40th anniversary of the pair's breakthrough shows at Hollywood's Troubadour club.
The US leg will run from 7 May to 4 July, after stops in Australia, New Zealand and Japan in March and April.
Taylor, 61, and King, 67, have won nine Grammy Awards between them during their recording careers.
"In a sense, we started our solo careers sharing a band, sharing a stage, we did a show at the Troubadour in Los Angeles that really sort of broke both of us out of the box and established our careers," Taylor said in a recent interview.
Carole King is arguably the most successful and most revered female songwriter in pop music history.
Over the course of his career, James Taylor has sold more than 40 million albums, and won more than 40 gold, platinum and multi-platinum awards as well as five Grammy Awards. Taylor's first Greatest Hits album earned him the RIAA's elite Diamond Award, given for sales in excess of 10 million units in the United States.
In 2000, Taylor was inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. In February 2006, The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences named Taylor its MUSICARES Person of the Year. Taylor's CD/DVD One Man Band (2007) was nominated for an Emmy and his most recent album, Covers, was nominated for two Grammy Awards in 2008.
