Laurie Anderson - Ugly One with the Jewels & Other Stories

Out-of-print in the US.! 1995 live album by the avant-garde performer, a recording of musical readings from her book Stories from the Nerve Bible. Recorded at Sadler's Wells Theater in London and featuring musical assistance from Brian Eno, Gerry Leonard, Greg Cohen and Cyro Baptiste. Although many of the song/stories performed cover a wide range of topics and ideas, they still hold together as parts of an ever-revolving whole. This release is closer in spirit to her sprawling epic United States Live and is certainly her best album since her breakthrough Big Science from 1981. 18 tracks. Warner.
