Homespun brings you the brilliance of Laura Nyro - captured live, raw, and radiantly in her prime.
Live 1970 & 1971 opens a rare window into one of the most gifted and enigmatic singer-songwriters of her generation.
At a time when her songs were lighting up the charts for artists like The 5th Dimension, Blood, Sweat & Tears, and Barbra Streisand, Laura Nyro was quietly redefining the art of live performance - intimate, passionate, and utterly fearless.
We bring you two live radio broadcasts that preserve Nyro at her most spellbinding: alone at the piano, her voice rising and falling like a storm of soul, jazz, and poetry.
First up is the WNEW-FM broadcast live from the Fillmore East, followed by the KJHK-FM broadcast from the Hoch Auditorium in Kansas.
From the aching beauty of "Captain For Dark Mornings" and "And When I Die" to the spiritual fire of "Save the Country," each performance radiates warmth, vulnerability, and that unmistakable Nyro magic.
Here, stripped of studio gloss, you hear the essence of her genius--her phrasing playful yet profound, her melodies soaring on instinct and emotion.
The air crackles with intimacy; it feels as if she's singing just for you, late at night, across the radio waves.
For long-time fans, this collection is a rediscovery of Laura's deep emotional power during a creative peak.
For new listeners, it's a revelation--proof that her influence on modern pop, soul, and singer-songwriter traditions is both timeless and unmatched.
So dim the lights and let Laura Nyro take you back to a time when a single voice and a piano could still change the way we feel about music.
This is Laura Nyro - live, luminous, and unforgettable.
