Our Take

Step right up, ladies and gents, and let me take you on a journey back to 1990 with the one and only Laura Nyro in Lockport. This live album captures Nyro at her absolute peak, displaying the full range of her mesmerising vocals and songwriting prowess. From the moment Nyro takes the stage, you can feel the electricity in the air. The audience is entranced, hanging on her every word as she weaves together a tapestry of soulful melodies and heartfelt lyrics. It's like being transported to another time and place, where the music is pure and the emotions run deep. Nyro's band is on fire, backing her up with tight grooves and dynamic instrumentation that elevates each song to new heights. The chemistry between Nyro and her bandmates is palpable, creating a sense of intimacy that is truly special. Tracks like "And When I Die" and "Stoned Soul Picnic" are standout moments, showcasing Nyro's incredible vocal range and emotive delivery. But it's the lesser-known gems like "The Sweet Sky" and "He Was Too Good to Me" that really steal the show, demonstrating Nyro's ability to dig deep and connect with her audience on a personal level. In conclusion, Laura Nyro's Lockport 1990 is a must-listen for fans of soulful, introspective music. It's a rare glimpse into the magic of a live Nyro performance, and it's a testament to her enduring talent as a musician and songwriter. Take a trip back in time with Nyro and prepare to be blown away.

About the artist

Laura Nyro

Laura Nyro, the enigmatic singer-songwriter from the Bronx, New York, was a force to be reckoned with in the 1960s and 70s music scene. Her unique blend of soul, pop, and jazz influences captivated audiences and garnered critical acclaim. Nyro's songwriting prowess was unparalleled, with complex and poetic lyrics that delved into themes of love, loss, and social justice. Her compositions were both emotionally stirring and intellectually stimulating, a rare combination in the often superficial world of pop music. Despite her undeniable talent, Nyro remained a bit of a mystery to many, shying away from the spotlight and eschewing traditional fame. She preferred to let her music speak for itself, and speak it did - volumes about her artistry and vision. Her magnum opus, "Eli and the Thirteenth Confession," remains a landmark album in the singer-songwriter genre, showcasing Nyro's impressive vocal range and sophisticated songwriting abilities. Tracks like "Wedding Bell Blues" and "Stoned Soul Picnic" are testaments to her immense talent and enduring legacy. Despite never achieving mainstream success on the level of her peers, Nyro's influence can be felt in the work of countless artists who followed in her footsteps. She was a true innovator, pushing the boundaries of what was possible in popular music and leaving an indelible mark on the industry. In a world of fleeting trends and disposable pop stars, Laura Nyro stands as a beacon of authenticity and artistry. Her music may not have always been easy listening, but it was always worth listening to.
