    I've definitely got a soft spot for Laura.
    Not my favourite album of hers but very listenable.

    Got a bit behind with the listening; too much computers and not enough music

    7/10 i reckon.
    Single spur balanced Mains. Self built music server with 3 seperate linear PSU, Intel i5, 16 GB RAM no hard drive (various Linux OS). Benchmark Dac2 HGC, single ended XLR interconnects/Belkin cable. Exposure 21RC Pre, Super 18 Power (recap & modified). Modded World Audio HD83 HP amp. Hand built Monitors with external crossovers , Volt 250 bass & ABR, Scanspeak 13M8621 Mid & Scanspeak D2905/9300 Hi. HD595 & Beyer 880 (600 ohm) cans.

    The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.

    Laura Nyro was one of those rare artists that only come along once in a while. Passionate, soulful and with a distinctive singing style. Like Janis Joplin, she sadly died far to early. 8/10 from me.

    This quote posted by someone on YouTube sums it up:

    Where are the David Geffens of today...to find and shepherd through this crazy business, the artists who like Laura must be out there somewhere? Such a wonderful soul as hers and Joni's may never reach us today as they struggle against the tide of Lady Gaga and the host of circus clowns masquerading as "artists".
