It was the first album after 6-year hiatus from her recording career, co-produced by Rudy Guess who supported her as a backing guitarist in later years. The title track features a guitar solo by [[Eric Clapton]]. It was released as a single and became top-20 hit on the U.S. Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. Clapton also played the guitar on "Ain't That the Way". Another notable guest musician is [[Branford Marsalis]], who played the saxophone on "Midnight Flyer." Before making a comeback record, King fostered an acting career. "I Can't Stop Thinking About You" is a collaboration work with an actor Paul Hipp, who co-starred with her in the off-Broadway show ''A Minor Incident'' in 1988. "Midnight Flyer" and "Someone Who Believes in You" were co-written by her former songwriting partner and husband [[Gerry Goffin]]. The latter was originally written for [[Air Supply]] vocalist [[Russell Hitchcock]]. His interpretation was initially featured on his [[Russell Hitchcock (album)|eponymous solo debut]] released in 1987, and he remade the song on Air Supply's ''[[The Earth Is...]]'' album four years later. It was also covered by [[Martha Wash]] in 1993 on her solo album. Like her other efforts released in the 1980s, ''City Streets'' received mixed critical reviews and resulted in a commercial flop, only reaching #111 on the Billboard album chart. The album has been out of print worldwide since 1993, although reissue was once planned by American Beat Records in 2007. ==Track listing== {{Track listing | headline = Side one | title1 = City Streets | writer1 = Carole King | length1 = 5:00 | title2 = Sweet Life | writer2 = King, Rudy Guess | length2 = 4:34 | title3 = Down to the Darkness | writer3 = King | length3 = 4:17 | title4 = Lovelight | writer4 = King | length4 = 4:28 | title5 = I Can't Stop Thinking About You | note5 = Duet with Paul Hipp | writer5 = King, [[Paul Hipp]] | length5 = 5:00 }} {{Track listing | headline = Side two | title6 = Legacy | writer6 = King, Guess | length6 = 5:04 | title7 = Ain't That the Way | writer7 = King | length7 = 3:09 | title8 = Midnight Flyer | writer8 = King, [[Gerry Goffin]] | length8 = 4:27 | title9 = Homeless Heart | note9 = Duet with Sherry Goffin | writer9 = King, [[John Bettis]] | length9 = 4:05 | title10 = Someone Who Believes in You | writer10 = King, Goffin | length10 = 2:56 }} == Personnel == * Carole King – lead vocals, backing vocals (1-4, 6, 7, 8), synthesizer (1, 2, 3), rhythm guitar (2), acoustic piano (3, 7), keyboards (4, 6, 8, 9, 10), [[MIDI controller|MIDI piano]] (4, 6, 8, 9, 10), organ (7) * [[Robbie Kondor]] – synthesizer (2, 4, 6, 9, 10), acoustic piano (5), organ (6, 8) * Teddy Andreadis – acoustic piano (6) * [[Eric Clapton]] – lead guitar (1), guitar (7) * Rudy Guess – rhythm guitar (1, 2), lead guitar (2), guitar (3, 4, 6, 8, 9), electric guitar (5), mandolin (8) * Mark Bosch – acoustic guitar (5), electric guitar (5) * [[Paul Hipp]] – acoustic guitar (5), backing vocals (5) * [[Wayne Pedzwater]] – bass guitar (1, 2, 5-10) * Seth Glassman – bass guitar (3, 4) * [[Steve Ferrone]] – drums (1, 3, 6, 7, 9) * [[Max Weinberg]] – drums (2) * [[Omar Hakim]] – drums (5, 8), cymbal (10) * Jimmy Bralower – tambourine (1, 8), cowbell (2), timpani (3), [[electronic drums]] (4), percussion (4) * [[Sammy Figueroa]] – percussion (3, 6, 7, 9, 10) * [[Michael Brecker]] – saxophone (1) * Jimmy Roberts – saxophone (5) * [[Branford Marsalis]] – saxophone (8) * [[Nick Lane]] – trombone (5) * [[Jimmy Zavala|Jimmy "Z" Zavala]] – harmonica (8) * Richard Hardy – flute (10) * Heidi Berg – backing vocals (9) * Angela Capell – backing vocals (9) * [[Kacey Cisyk]] – backing vocals (9) * Sherry Goffin – backing vocals (9) ==Production== * Producers – Carole King and Rudy Guess * Executive Producer – Tom Whalley * Recorded and Mixed by James Farber at Skyline Studios (New York, NY). * Second Engineer – Eugene "UE" Nastasi * Mastered by Greg Calbi at Sterling Sound (New York, NY). * Art Direction – Tommy Steele * Design – Jeffrey Fey * Photography – Caroline Grayshock ==Chart positions== {| class="wikitable sortable" style="text-align:center;" !Chart (1989) !Position |- |align="left"|[[RPM (magazine)|Canadian RPM Albums Chart]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/rpm/028020-119.01-e.php?&file_num=nlc008388.6337&type=1&interval=50&PHPSESSID=c6btf3r8hs459qqt5ln3o3dcv5|title= Top Albums/CDs - Volume 50, No. 4 |publisher=''[[RPM (magazine)|RPM]]''|format=PHP|date= May 22, 1989|accessdate=December 18, 2013}}</ref> |66 |- |align="left"|[[Dutch Albums Chart]]<ref name="nlchart">{{cite web|title=dutchcharts.nl Carole King - ''City Streets''|publisher=[[MegaCharts]]|url=http://dutchcharts.nl/showitem.asp?interpret=Carole+King&titel=City+Streets&cat=a|work=Hung Medien|format=ASP|accessdate=December 18, 2013}}</ref> |67 |- |align="left"|[[United States]] [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]]<ref name="chart">[{{Allmusic|class=album|id=r10899/charts-awards|pure_url=yes}} Allmusic - Charts & Awards]</ref> |111 |- |} ==References== <references/> {{Carole King}} {{DEFAULTSORT:City Streets (Album)}} [[Category:1989 albums]] [[Category:Carole King albums]] [[Category:Priority Records albums]]'
