Music reviews of Eli & The 13th Confession (Exp)
Music Review: Timeless Music for the Soul
Rating: 5 Stars
I first heard this album on vinyl at a friends place in the mid 70's. Ever since then I have worn out two LP's, a couple of cassettes and am on my second CD. I have turned on a multitude of music lovers to Laura's music over the years. But mostly I like to listen to this album when I am alone so I don't need to talk and I can just absorb this masterpiece. No matter how many times I hear Eli's coming, I still wait for the laid on tracks at the end. A true musical genius and will be forever missed by me and all true lovers of music.
Description of Eli & The 13th Confession (Exp)
Full title - Eli & The Thirteenth Confession. Reissue of 1968 album featuring 'Sweet Blindness', 'Stoned Soul Picnic' & 3 previously unreleased demo bonus tracks 'Lu', 'Stoned Soul Picnic' & 'Emmie'. 2002.Consider the curious fate of singer-songwriter Laura Nyro's 1968 big-label bow: though it contained no less than three songs ("Stoned Soul Picnic," "Sweet Blindness," and "Eli's Coming") that became hits (the first two for Fifth Dimension, the last for Three Dog Night), Nyro's own endlessly influential collection barely dented the Top 200. And in an era of supposed pop emancipation and enlightenment, Nyro was booed off the stage at the vaunted Monterey Pop Festival a year earlier. Those facts merely hint at the true gifts and stubborn instincts of an artist who took her cue for hook writing from the Brill Building's prime, then seamlessly fused it to her far-ranging passions for soul, jazz, gospel, and no small amount of personal drama. Carole King was seldom this exotic and compelling, nor Joni Mitchell so pop perfect. "Once It Was Alright Now (Farmer Joe)" even recalls Brian Wilson's most ambitious musical gambits, its suite format playfully interspersing three different tunes and styles, standing the standard verse-chorus-verse form on its head in the bargain. Long a treasured musical touchstone for other artists (Nyro influenced everyone from Phoebe Snow to Tori Amos), this reissued edition now contains beautiful, spare solo demos for "Lu," "Stoned Soul Picnic," and "Emmie" as bonus tacks, along with newly penned liner notes. --Jerry McCulley
