1993 Laura Nyro – Walk The Dog & Light The Light
Walk The Dog And Light The Light is the ninth studio album by Bronx-born singer, songwriter, and pianist Laura Nyro. It was released in the late summer of 1993, more than nine years after its predecessor, Mother’s Spiritual. It followed Nyro’s 1989 live album Laura: Live at the Bottom Line, and the atmosphere here is similarly laidback and easygoing.
It was the last album of new original material that Nyro released during her lifetime, although she began recording another album in 1994, which was released in 2001 as Angel in the Dark. Walk the Dog and Light the Light received positive critical notices, and Nyro supported the album with a string of intimate dates with a harmony vocal group.
