New York Tendaberry, the third album from New York City's own Laura Nyro, came out on Columbia in the autumn of 1969, some eighteen months after Eli and the Thirteenth Confession. Nyro steered the sessions herself, with Roy Halee producing and engineering alongside her, and David Gahr shot the cover.
It's the middle panel of a trio of records with Eli on one side and Christmas and the Beads of Sweat on the other, and it's the barest and most intense of the three: a singer at the piano, that three-octave voice swooping from a whisper to a wail, songs that feel like they're being torn out of her in real time. By then other acts were scoring hits with her songs, and the 5th Dimension would take "Save the Country" into the Hot 100 while Barbra Streisand cut "Time and Love". Word of mouth did the rest: it peaked at number 32 on the Billboard 200 and became her most successful record.
