Book Reviews of Soul Picnic: The Music and Passion of Laura Nyro
Book Review: Brilliant biography of an under-estimated artist
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent book about an important and under-esimated singer/songwriter, who had a tremendous influence on popular music which seems to be rarely acknowledged. Laura Nyro equals talent - as a songwriter, singer and pianist.For people like myself who have been listening to Laura Nyro's music for around 30 years it's great to have a detailed biography and complete discography.
This book should help to ensure that Nyro is remembered,as she deserves to be for her wonderful songs and dynamic voice. It's difficult to compare Nyro to anyone, but she may be closest in songwriting skills and vocal and instrumental talent to Joni Mitchell, and there's no higher praise than that.
