Query: This album deserves 6 stars

The earth stood still for me the moment I heard this record. Being a youngster ( I am 19 ), I was never really able to appreciate the value of an artist like Laura Nyro. But all of that changed when my mother played the album one day, while we were just relaxing. At first I thought to myself, "Who is this mad woman?" but then I just closed my eyes and sat back and there I was immersed in all of her pain, joy, sorrow and darkness.I was there with her, I felt her aches and pains and her joys and delights, right from to soft intro of You don't Love Me When I Cry to the emotional ending to an exquisite piece, New York Tendaberry. It moved me so much I had to go out and by the cd for myself.After that point Laura became my sanity and she has and still does continue to see me through my darkest times. If you don not have this album you are missing out on a woman who puts Madonna, Sarah Machlaughlin, Tori Amos and the rest of them to shame.
