Miracle Row

Miracle Row is the ninth studio album by Janis Ian, and her fourth for Columbia Records, released in 1977.

In contrast to her previous three albums, Miracle Row was recorded in New York City with her recent touring band and lacked the orchestration.

[1] The Kingsport News gave the album "A" upon release, saying that Janis was "the best realist woman poet around today" and also one of its best vocalists.

[5] Joe McNally writing for the San Antonio Express, said that Janis "did what she did very well" and the critic admitted that he was a sucker for what she did.

It proved to be Ian's last album to dent the top 100 in the United States, for her efforts to adopt a highly commercial pop sound on her subsequent Columbia albums[8] would gain success only in Europe and Australia, and not do so consistently even there.
