At this darkest time of the year, between the winter solstice and the New Year, we feather the nest and we light the lights. We burn candles, we string bulbs, we set off fireworks, we light the winter log. We also sleep and dream, bathing in familiar songs and sounds, the smell of baking cookies, the windows steamy with condensation that freezes in the dark of night.
Interesting take on Laura Nyro's return to recording after her hiatus in the early seventies. I have always felt that her first five albums are a run that few others have matched but your thoughts on 'Season of Light' encourage me to revisit it, although I only have the original, truncated version.
Hi, Robert. Thanks for reading and for your comments. I do love Eli, NY Tendaberry & Xmas/Beads of Sweat. They are amazing records. But the post- hiatus albums Smile, Mother's Spiritual & Walk the Dog/Light the Light are equal in my book. The complete version of Season of Light is a very different listening experience than the shorter one.

I should definitely get a copy of it...
