MAJESTIC LATE PERIOD LAURA NYRO SHOW – PLUS BONUS CUTS 

In 1988, Laura Nyro began touring with a band, her first concert appearances in 10 years. The tour was dedicated to the animal rights movement. These shows led to her 1989 release, Laura: Live at the Bottom Line, which included six new compositions. • Her final album of predominantly original material, Walk the Dog and Light the Light (1993), her last album for Columbia, sparked reappraisal of her place in popular music, and new commercial offers began appearing. She turned down lucrative film-composing offers, although she contributed a rare protest song to the Academy Award-winning documentary Broken Rainbow, about the unjust relocation of the Navajo people. • Nyro performed increasingly in the 1980s and 1990s with female musicians, including her friend Nydia "Liberty" Mata, a drummer, and several others from the lesbian-feminist women's music subculture. During this period, Nyro made appearances at such venues as the 1989 Michigan Womyn's Music Festival and the 1989 Newport Folk Festival. On July 4, 1991, she opened for Bob Dylan at the Tanglewood Music Center in Lenox, Massachusetts. Among her last performances were at Union Chapel, Islington, London, in November 1994; The New York Bottom Line Christmas Eve Show in 1994; and at McCabe's in Los Angeles February 11 and 12, 1995. • During this period one stand-out show by Laura was her performance at the Veterans Memorial Park in Lockport, New York, at which she was the opening act for Tom Rush. The entire concert was recorded for live radio broadcast and Nyro’s set is induced on this new CD, released here for the first time. • Bonus cuts come from the other end of Laura Nyro’s career, and feature a range of in-studio and live transmissions from the late 1960s.
