“This album by Billy Childs is a home run. His "reimagining" of Laura Nyro's music is profoundly elegant, sensitive and should burnish Nyro's reputation even more. There are two more selections at YouTube: "Map to the Treasure" and "Upstairs by a Chinese Lamp." The guest singers are also unbelievable in their interpretations, including Renee Flemming ("New York Tenderberry") Becca Stevens ("The Confession"), Rickie Lee Jones ("Been on a Train"), Shawn Colvin ("Save the Country") and Susan Tedeschi ("Gibsom Street"). Stunning all the way around.”
