A FABULOUS Recording - Reviewed on 2008-03-18

This is by far the most moving of Nina Simone's recordings. It eeks passion throughout. Not a single breath is drawn without absolute passion. Songs roll into the next and one stomps and sings along. Sure, it is angry, but rightously so. This record truly moves me.

Whenever you feel the blues, listen to Nina Simone and your blues will be soothed by her raw and at the same time smooth music.

You won't regret buying this cd - Reviewed on 2007-01-04

I like the blues and I am also a Nina Simone fan. I was not sure if This lady would sing up to my expectations of the blues. She proved me very much wrong.
This is one of the best cd's I have ever purchased of Nina Simone. I really enjoyed, DO I MOVE YOU and THE PUSHER. This lady is a real artist. It sounds to me that she is definately into what she is singing on this cd, and enjoying every minute of it.

Wow! Nina Simone - Reviewed on 2006-08-02

This is such a wonderful CD. I was actually searching another artist when I discovered Nina Simone. After listening to a few music samples, I was intrigued enough to purchase it.
I love it! The fact that this music was recorded decades ago, is a perfect illustration of how timeless her music is. If you like this type of deep bluesy, but not whiny, style, you will not be sorry.

Nina's Blues... - Reviewed on 2005-10-16

I have always loved Nina Simone's voice and have always thought she made great choices when choosing what songs to cover, and this CD is no exception. As a fan of the blues, I couldn't wait to hear this and I wasn't disappointed. She rocks "The Pusher", and turns Dylan's "I Shall Be Released" into a spiritual. The live version of "Gin House Blues" is incredibly infectious and I keep hitting repeat once its over. This CD is full of gems. Anyone who is a fan of the blues or Nina Simone should own this; no one can sing the blues the way she did.
