You are not alone in finding Nyro’s voice problematic among friends of mine that never gave her material much of a listen, or only knew of it from other artists with radio voices covering her. After Nyro’s long hiatus from road work and recording, when she returned to both about a decade or so before she tragically contracted cancer (about same time it took her Mother) her vocal timbre had solidified and her vocal tone tempered as she wrote more conventional ballads on the subjects that captured her heart. See Leon Russell (RIP\Z”L) and Catol Kaye reflecting in the documentary on THE WRECKING CREW with clips on U. Just a Little Lovin' (Early in the Mornin'). Media Discussion List, (Just headed on over from the ‘Any Major Dude With Half A Heart’ Blog!). Till I read between the lines Stoney End may refer to: "Stoney End" (song), a 1970 song by Laura Nyro; Stoney End (Barbra Streisand album) Stoney End (Stone Poneys album) This disambiguation page lists articles associated with the title Stoney End. (recorded 19th October of that year), which itself drew my attention to the original, which would have meant precisely nothing to me before I encountered ‘Dám vám lék’ (‘I Give You The Cure’), so I am eternally grateful to ‘Alenka’ for having done so.
Thanks. She dreads the future, the morning , a future ‘stoney end’ rather than the straight, righteous and narrow. This entry was posted * The Blossoms, who sang backing vocals on Peggy Lipton's version, recorded the song as the B-side of their single release, "Wonderful" in 1969. I ordered the 3 Stone Poney albums at one point, and they were out of v. 3, but I never did obtain it, so it’s nice to hear something I hadn’t heard before. Happily enough for today’s exercise, Nyro’s take on “Stoney End” – found on the 1967 album More Than A New Discovery – is one of her better performances, and I quite like it. ), Tags: Barbra Streisand, Bert Kaempfert, Blossoms, Laura Nyro, Linda Ronstadt & The Stone Poneys, Maynard Ferguson, Peggy Lipton. I like it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zynFqUu9oKw. Are you aware of the cover of that by the honey-voiced Alena Tichá in the Czechoslovakia of 1972?
The best known version of the song was a hit for Barbra Streisand in 1970. Maybe she listened as closely to Nyro and Joni Mitchell as she had to Ethel Merman and Judy Garland a decade earlier, but somehow she re-oriented her approach to music, adapting herself to vocal demands that were very different in terms of dynamics, expressiveness, and especially rhythm from the traditional pop and theater music she had sung previously. It was also her biggest seller in four years and launched the comeback that saw her through the '70s. And in the past few days, I’ve found nine other covers of the Nyro song, almost all of them jammed between the years 1967 – when Nyro released her version – and 1972, when Bert Kaempfert released, on his album 6 Plus 6, the only easy listening version of the tune I’ve found. It really is some tune that proably largely passed right over British heads! The followup album of the same title was, in its own way, as surprising as Streisand's debut album eight years earlier. You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site. Thanks for this post and your Musical Memoir (a genre somewhere between poetry, memoir and song reviews that was invented by Bay Area writer Al Young who’s done 4 volumes of Musical Memoirs). I was wondering if you’d noticed a similarity between Stoney End and Suicide is Painless, and if you think this is a coincidence.
A gospel-inflected uptempo piece; according to childhood friend Alan Merrill, Nyro originally intended the song to be performed on a slower pace.
I wasn’t so impressed with this until the end, and then I liked it a lot.
