I'll be honest as I didn't discover Ms. Nyro on my own. I have "the Mister" to thank for introducing me. Holy cow, she's written all the cool songs for all the cool people. I'd call her a singer's singer.
I find that Laura's music is not for background mood music, but music that demands to be listened to. "New York Tendaberry" was just such an album and really knocked me out.
I scoured YouTube but there's just not many clips of Laura singing live. This clip is a good one - just her.
A rocking good time (if that's the right words) can be found on this album with LaBelle (thanks Mister).
It's all a "Stoned Soul Picnic" to me!
