Saw a couple of curious performances by this Laura Nyro gal. The performances (on the Monterey Pop Festival dvds) and images I've dug up (see photo below) make me think of Fiona Apple. A bunch of Laura's songs were hits with artists like The Fifth Dimension, Blood Sweat and Tears, Three Dog Night, etc. This makes me a bit dubious. Those bands don't get me all tingly inside. Then again, most of the Byrds' versions of Dylan songs are pretty shite. Anyone who tells you otherwise is just putting you on.
Anyway, I'm not buying anything yet. I will check her out from Ms. Casey first.
