Chicago-based Blujazz strikes pop-cabaret gold once again with the 2019 CD release of The Fourteenth Confession- The Songs Of Laura Nyro by singer MaryJo Mundy. Back in the late 1960s, NYC singer-songwriter Laura Nyro was setting the music world on fire writing songs that ended up being huge pop-rock hits for The 5th Dimension, Three Dog Night and Blood Sweat & Tears. A tribute to the late Laura Nyro, MaryJo’s album was recorded live in concert in L.A. in April 2018. Backing up MaryJo on The Fourteenth Confession are a number of skillful musicians, including music director / pianist Ross Kalling and electric guitarist Tony Mandracchia. Topped off by cool painting cover art with in-depth liner notes by MaryJo, Richard Knight, Jr. and the album’s producer Hillary Rollins, the album is a memorable concert tribute to both Ms. Nyro as well as MaryJo’s passionate vocal skills. MaryJo really rises to the occasion on the eleven-track album, which also features a bonus track called “The Cat Song”. MaryJo has been covering the music of Laura Nyro since 2016 and she tastefully seals the deal on The Fourteenth Confession.
