LAURA NYRO <> Eli and the Thirteenth Confession
“She wrote the most unexpected songs, a dazzling display
of lyrical and musical innovation…”
Stereo Review
1968's, Eli and the Thirteenth Confession is the second album
by singer, songwriter, and pianist Laura Nyro.
Just shy of 21, Laura Nyro - drawing on the many-splendored
influences of pop, rock, R&B, jazz, gospel and even Broadway -
created a masterpiece that sealed her place in the pantheon of
songwriting greats. While others may have topped the charts
with classics like "Stoned Soul Picnic," "Eli's Comn'" and
"Sweet Blindness," Laura's soulful and personal interpretations
remain indelible and definitive. With a youthful spirit, a
wisdom far belying her years, and a passion and persuasion
that are timeless, Nyro delivers an inspiring confessional
for the ages on this landmark recording.
