New York TendaberryStudio album by Laura NyroReleasedSeptember 24, 1969RecordedSeptember 1968–July 1969 in New York CityGenreAcousticsoulfolkLength46:15LabelColumbiaProducerLaura Nyro, Roy Halee New York Tendaberry is the third album by New York City-born singer, songwriter and pianist Laura Nyro. It was released in the autumn of 1969, on Columbia Records, some eighteen months after its predecessor, Eli and the Thirteenth Confession. It was helmed by her, with the assistance of producer and engineer Roy Halee. The cover photograph was taken by David Gahr.New York Tendaberry is also considered to be the second in a trilogy of classic original Nyro records, with Eli and Christmas and the Beads of Sweat on either side. They are all considered musically and thematically similar, although New York Tendaberry is the most intense and stark.In 1969, Nyro was one of the most popular pop songwriters, and various groups including the 5th Dimension, Three Dog Night, and Blood, Sweat & Tears had enjoyed hits with her compositions. Thanks to the strong word of mouth trailing her work, New York Tendaberry became her most commercially successful record, peaking at #32 on the Billboard 200, formerly known as the Pop Albums chart.The 5th Dimension reached US #27 in the Pop Singles chart (the Billboard Hot 100) with their version of "Save the Country", while artists including Barbra Streisand recorded "Time and Love".In 2003, the album was included in Mojo's Collection book of the best albums of all time, and the reissued version was voted among the Best Albums of 2002 in Uncut magazine.OverviewNew York Tendaberry is strongly influenced by Nyro's hometown, New York City.Nyro sings of lovers and romances in a notably darker tone than on her previous album Eli and the Thirteenth Confession.Musically, New York Tendaberry is far more intimate than any other Nyro album. Multi-layered instrumentation is less than on previous efforts as some songs were built around her voice and piano, though the use of strings and classical instrumentation is notable.Nyro guided co-producer and engineer Roy Halee using color metaphors. She could not understand musical notation, and used other analogies to communicate what she wanted.The album also uses sound effects such as the gunshot on "Mercy on Broadway" and the twinkling sky in "New York Tendaberry". Alongside Nyro's piano is a jazz band, an orchestra, and a rock band, though they are used more sparingly than on her previous two releases.The album was released after a year of night-time recording sessions, and is considered by most to be Nyro's artistic highpoint.
