Description
Mother's Spiritual is the eighth studio album by New York City-born singer, songwriter, and pianist Laura Nyro. The album was originally released at the beginning of 1984, following a year of difficult and expensive recording sessions, and came more than five years after its well-received predecessor, 1978's Nested. Thanks to a small buzz surrounding Nyro's return to the spotlight after a period of semi-retirement, Mother's Spiritual became her last US chart entry, reaching #182 on the Billboard 200. Musically, the album stands out as the most serene and easygoing of all Nyro's works, presenting a more maternal tone compared to the wilder and more experimental nature of albums like Eli and the Thirteenth Confession and New York Tendaberry. Thematically, the focus shifts from personal explorations of passion and love to broader societal concerns, such as environmentalism, motherhood, and feminism. Laura Nyro was Inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2010 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012.
This Music on Vinyl release of Mother's Spiritual comes as a limited edition of 750 individually numbered copies on magenta vinyl.
