	Laura Nyro -- Bold Soul Sisters
		But when I listened to the record, I couldn't believe how soulful this folkie was -- and I'm not talking soft soul (though she can sure handle herself there too).
		I mean gritty, spirited soul and passion in both her playing and singing, with enough funky vibes to keep rare groove fans like me begging for more.
		Her music is so soulful.") Her music has been covered by artists from Aretha Franklin to Roy Ayers.

		Her best-known songs -- "And When I Die," "Eli's Coming," "Stoned Soul Picnic," "Wedding Bell Blues" -- were written when she was a precocious New York City teenager, and the hit versions by Blood, Sweat and Tears, Three Dog Night and the Fifth Dimension defined Top 40 AM radio during the '60s and early '70s.
		Her concerts were all too rare, and though she continued to make records after her heyday (1966-72), Nyro faded from the air waves and the popular consciousness.
		Listening to the two-CD retrospective "The Best of Laura Nyro: Stoned Soul Picnic" (Columbia Legacy), which was released shortly before her death, lapsed fans might be moved to tears -- we should have bowed down and worshipped her daily and never let her out of our lives.

		Stoned Soul Picnic is vibraphonist Roy Ayers' third and probably best solo album, made in 1968 while he was still a part of Herbie Mann's group.
		The program is a typical late 1960s menu, heavy on such Top 40 pop covers as the dated “Stoned Soul Picnic,” “For Once In My Life” and “What The People Say.” What sets these and the interesting, if unsuccessful, cover of Jobim's “Wave” apart are Tolliver's rather ingenious arrangements.
		Tolliver seems to tear apart the constraints of these duds (although “Picnic” is beyond hope) by dramatically slowing down the melodies, providing Ayers the time and space to set the mood (Tolliver correctly recognizes Ayers's strengths with ballads) and punctuating with nicely considered horn statements in between.

	Mike's Comment of the Week - STONED SOUL PICNIC
		And yet, one of the hits, Stoned Soul Picnic, which peaked at number 3 in 1968 with the Fifth Dimension cover, is enigmatic and difficult.
		Now for "stoned soul." Is she trying to describe a state where the soul, and not the body, gets high?
		Come to a picnic for your soul, and experience a religious event.

	Picnic Ideas from Evite
		Also be sure to have citronella candles on hand to add atmosphere to your picnic while keeping any flying critters away.
		Since the picnic basket is the universal symbol of this style of party, you can use a basket to add flair to your picnic table or blanket.
		The word "picnic" comes from the French "pique-nique," which roughly means a potluck, so in that spirit, assign your guests a type of dish to bring.

		In fact, if you were to replace those two songs with the similar-sounding-to-the-rest-of-the-album 'On the Beach in the Summertime' (which appears on the CD version of 'Portrait', and did not appear on any album originally), you'd have a PERFECT 5th Dimension album.
		The singles 'Stoned Soul Picnic', 'Sweet Blindness' and 'California Soul' all made the Top 40, and 'Picnic' became the 5th's biggest soul single chart success, eclipsing even the juggernaut single 'Aquarius' from the next album.
		But the other songs are also stellar examples of the 5th's California Soul sound; 'It'll Never Be The Same Again' was so good, it became a b-side TWICE; Billy Davis' plaintive, sincere delivery of both this and 'Broken Wing Bird' is stirring.

	Laura Nyro: Stoned Soul Picnic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Compiled by the artist (which isn't always such a good thing), Stoned Soul Picnic is a fine overview of Nyro's ten album, 20 year stint at Columbia ('73-'93).
		As with any serious singer/songwriter who encompasses influences as diverse as folk, gospel, soul and jazz and considers her lyrics poetry, this is not an easy listen.
		With a 24-page booklet, wonderfully remastered sound, and an interview with Nyro, Stoned Soul Picnic is a lovingly compiled package that is undoubtedly the place to start (and maybe end) for anyone not familiar with Laura Nyro's powerfully uncompromising art.

		She merged jazz, gospel, R&B and girl-group pop to create an unprecedented form that was both sonically rich and instantly accessible.
		STONED SOUL PICNIC features Nyro's broad, poetic vision on great early songs like "Gibsom Street" and "New York Tendaberry" as well as on cuts best known through other singers' versions ("And When I Die," "Stoney End," etc.).
		What emerges over the course of these two discs is the highly-developed aesthetic sensibility of an artist who not only understood the sources of her inspiration, but had enough of a vision to assimilate those sources and take them someplace new.

		Gli Stoned Soul Picnic sono un quartetto che ruota intorno all’organo Hammond.
		Formatosi nel 1999 dall’incontro di musicisti appassionati di funk e soul, e seguaci di band come The Meters e The Mohawks, il gruppo ha sviluppato un sound, caratterizzato da un Hammond rutilante e da un solido appoggio della batteria.
		Risale allo scorso gennaio l’uscita dell’ultimo disco, il 45 giri “Erotic Cakes”, dell’etichetta francese Soul Cookers, che anticipa la pubblicazione di un prossimo LP “The Erotic Cakes of Stoned Soul Picnic”.

		Stoned Soul Picnic by The 5th Dimension: Reviews
		One of the 5th Dimension's finest all-around albums, Stoned Soul Picnic is not only home to the title tracks, but also to the hits "Sweet Blindness" and "California Soul." All three of these songs provide excellent examples of the band's sunny and buoyant appeal.
		Although the singers' awesome vocal gifts deserve all the credit they get, it's also important to realize the immense contributions from producer Bones Howe and vocal arranger Bob Alcivar.

		STONED SOUL PICNIC will certainly appeal to diehard Nyro fans.
		The single disc retrospective TIME AND LOVE: THE ESSENTIAL MASTERS (which captures all of the early highlights), plus the GONNA TAKE A MIRACLE reissue, however, are far better suited to the casual fan and the general female singer-songwriter enthusiast.
		Still, all the recordings sound great, and if you really don't want to go to the effort or expense of purchasing Nyro's work in full, STONED SOUL PICNIC will do nicely until a better thought out Nyro compilation comes along.

		This was a thread (a ribbon really) that wove itself throughout Laura’s life and work: “Save the Country”, “Brown Earth”, “Christmas in my Soul”, “Morning News” and, what, a dozen more.
		In 2006, it is once again time to unfurl that banner, stir the very air in this country, and have our voices be heard loud and clear.

	Salon \| R.I.P. Laura Nyro
		It was only a month ago that Columbia/Legacy released "Stoned Soul Picnic," a best-of collection chosen by the singer-songwriter herself, and her songs have been filling my Brooklyn living room since.
		Though her songs got more prosaic toward the end ("Walk the Dog and Light the Light" was the title of her last studio album), her empathy was undiminished, embracing children, women, animals -- the devil himself, at times.
		"I got fury in my soul," she sang in "Save the Country," an unabashed anti-war anthem, "Fury's gonna take me to the glory."

		The group was far more than a fl version of the Mamas & the Papas.
		There are also some excellent album cuts here, such as Jeff Companor's "It'll Never Be the Same Again," where Ron Townson's exquisite soul pipes get off an amazing solo around an excellent Motown-driven arrangement.
		If you're going to pick up one 5th Dimension album (aside from a greatest hits package), you'd be hard-pressed to find a better one than this.

		Stoned Soul Picnic dates from the earlier part of Roy Ayers' career as a leader, before he delved heavily into R&B and funk fusions and instead concentrated more on soul-jazz grooves.
		The Laura Nyro-penned title track foreshadows Ayers' later forays beyond the boundaries of pure jazz, and the group keeps the groove percolating nicely throughout, making Stoned Soul Picnic one of Ayers' better jazz-oriented outings.
