Time and Love: The Art and Soul of Laura Nyro (Piano/Vocal/Guitar Artist Songbook) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm not a musician. I bought this just out of interest & wanting to know more about how Laura thought and background. I would think a musician would want sheet music to play the songs as they were written by Laura, not as arranged by someone else. Where is the original opening of "To A Child"?
Her hand written notes are interesting but presenting them as a collage doesn't allow the reader to really see them. Very interesting how some verses or lines of a song she released had at one time been part of another song either released or unreleased. Did she really have to write down her on-stage banter?
The accompanying cd is a disappointment. Three songs is fine but why are two of them covers of someone else's songs?? Doesn't make sense when it's part of a songbook of her music. The cover of Stevie Wonder's "Creepin'" is great though--better realized than his own version cause she expresses that word in both the music and her singing.
