I always think of 'Stoned Soul Picnic' as being, somehow, entry level Laura Nyro: A track to play to people who haven't heard her before, a song that, despite being excellent in its own right, only hints at the full scope of her talents. There are 60s R&B aspects, strings, soaring vocals, and moments where the track seems to change direction, only to return to its original refrain and rhythm. Start here, and with the rest of Eli & The Thirteenth Confession, then listen to more of her.
