LAURA NYRO
Laura Nyro was one of pop music's true originals: A brilliant and innovative composer,
her songs found greater commercial success in the hands of other performers,
but her own records -- intricate, haunting works highlighting her singularly
powerful vocal phrasing, evocative lyrics, and alchemical fusion of gospel,
soul, folk, and jazz structures -- remain her definitive artistic legacy

Nyro peaked early, and Eli and the Thirteenth Confession, just her second album, remains her best.
It's not only because it contains the original versions of no less than three songs that were
big hits for other artists: "Sweet Blindness" (covered by the 5th Dimension), "Stoned Soul Picnic"
(also covered by the 5th Dimension), and "Eli's Comin'" (done by Three Dog Night).
It's not even just because those three songs are so outstanding. It's because the album
as a whole is so outstanding, with its invigorating blend of blue-eyed soul, New York pop,
and early confessional singer/songwriting. Nyro sang of love, inscrutably enigmatic romantic
daredevils, getting drunk, lonely women, and sensual desire with an infectious joie de vivre.
The arrangements superbly complemented the material with lively brass,
wailing counterpoint backup vocals, and Nyro's own ebullient piano...(AllMusic)
