After
her initial burst of creativity in the early '70s, Laura Nyro's career
became very much a part-time thing. 1993's
WALK
THE DOG AND LIGHT THE LIGHT is one of fewer than half a dozen albums released
in the quarter-century
before
her 1999 death. Like many of these later albums, such as 1978's NESTING,
WALK THE DOG is a casual, jazzy affair,
with
lengthy songs slickly but not sterilely produced by Steely Dan helmsman
Gary Katz.
As
always, Nyro's watery, Bill Evans-influenced piano and lusty, gospel-infused
vocals are front and center.
The
title track, the sassy, swinging "Oh Yeah Maybe Baby (The Heebie Jeebies)"
and the impressionistic
"The
Descent of Luna Rose" are highlights, but it's the final track, a medley
of Nyro's own "I'm So Proud"
and
a gorgeous rendition of "Dedicated to the One I Love," that stands out.
It's among the finest performances of
Nyro's
career.
