SO, i bought the aforementioned album by Laura Nyro and all I can
say is that I am loving it..........thorougly!! Even though the
instrumentation is much more sparsely used than on Eli and the 13th
Confession, I am entranced by her singing and her musical style. I found it
hard getting used to her heavily rubatic music (meaning that she doesnt rely
on only one time signature for a song, but instead disregards a strict time
signature), but now I am hooked and I downloaded her version of "Up on the
Roof" which I never really liked before. I had heard James Tayler's version,
that I thought was lame. But her take on the song is just magical and soon
I'll have to go out and buy the album which it is from.
But back to New York Tendaberry, my favorite tracks are
Tom Cat GOodby, Save the COuntry, Mercy on Broadway, and Captain for Dark
Mornings.
Her voice most of all has me hooked, it is original, full of
life, vibrant, chilling, all at once.
