abstract
  • %22Where You Lead%22 is a song written in 1970 by Carole King and Toni Stern.It first appeared on King's bestselling Tapestry album in January 1971. The song was inspired from the Book of Ruth, where it says: %22Where you go, I will go%22. Rolling Stone Magazine critic Jon Landau described it as an %22ingratiatingly witty song that seems to parody the romantic extremes of some of Carole's earlier work.%22 Landau also praises the power of Russ Kunkel's drumming on the song. Author James Perone states that a superficial reading of the lyrics could suggest that the song reinforces stereotypes that a woman should not put her desire for a career ahead pleasing her husband. But he goes on to say that the singer has actually made %22an informed and empowered decision%22 to follow her man %22because of the life changing impact%22 the relationship has had on her.Barbra Streisand recorded the song for her August 1971 album Barbra Joan Streisand, with a single just reaching %22hit%22 status. In 1972, she released a live recording of the song on her album Live Concert at the Forum, and it once again became a minor hit. Kate Taylor also covered the song on her 1971 album Sister Kate. Allmusic critic Joe Viglione pointed out that Taylor's version has a %22totally different flavor%22 from both King's and Streisand's versions.Carole King re-recorded %22Where You Lead%22 for the popular 2000s television series Gilmore Girls with her daughter Louise Goffin. The song was used as the series's theme song.On King's 2005 album, Love Makes the World - Deluxe Edition, she re-recorded the song with Louise Goffin. Here it was titled %22Where You Lead I Will Follow%22. The song appears on the subsequent 2005 live album The Living Room Tour.King performed the song with James Taylor on many of the shows on their joint 2010 Troubadour Reunion Tour.
