Laura was just 20 when she recorded this remarkable 1968 LP, establishing herself as a new force in songwriting with Stoned Soul Picnic; Poverty Train; Lonely Women; Eli's Comin'; Sweet Blindness , and more. Includes three unissued demos!
Laura fused styles and wrote songs like no other singer-songwriter of her time-she was a legend at 25, and here are 16 key cuts from her early prime. Her hit version of Up on the Roof joins her own Stoned Soul Picnic; Eli's Comin'; Wedding Bell Blues; And When I Die; Stoney End; Time and Love; Save the Country , and more!
Her only album of cover songs, released in '71 and featuring unreleased live bonus versions of Up on the Roof and Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing , and more!
Many of these 34 tracks charted in the hands of other artists, but there's nothing like Laura's own, utterly unique and passionate performances. You'll hear some live ones here ( And When I Die; Save the Country; Money; Sweet Blindess ) as well as her original studio recordings of Wedding Bell Blues; Blowin' Away; Stoney End; And When I Die; Stoned Soul Picnic; Eli's Comin'; New York Tendaberry; Blackpatch; Beads of Sweat; Smile; To a Child; A Woman of the World , and more!
