I gather we're discussing the Laura Nyro tribute cd- I'm, unfortunately, in agreement w/ Marc on this one. I think this is one of Lisa's low points. I never liked "Eli's Commin'" anyway- In fact, though I liked her songwriting, I didn't care much for Laura's voice. I REALLY liked Roseanne Cash's take on "Free the Children" (which is a great song to begin with!) Dave in Dallas - --- Jeffrey Pearson wrote: > Lisa does fine with the track.

While I think Lisa's is the weakest track on the CD, there are some stellar moments ( in addition to Save The Country): Time And Love - Phoebe Snow Stoned Soul Picnic - Jill Sobule Wedding Bell Blues - the Roches When I Think Of Laura Nyro - Jane Siberry One of the very few tribute CD's with a reason for an existence... The best part of Lisa's song is her little blurb in the liners...very funny if you are a fan.
