 Rating: - If You Are A True Nina FanI was listening to a Nina Simone Remix disc one day and even though I own several items of hers there was one song I didn't have. I immediately started searching for it, and even though I have most of the songs on this disc I had to have the other one too, so I purchased it. I have to tell you people this is one of the best I have heard by her. I love her voice and style anyway, so I did not hesitate to make the purchase. Even hearing the songs I own, hearing them here just sounded like she truly was singing from her soul. Trust me on this, if you don't have it, get it..you will not be disappointed in the least. If anything you will probably feel like I did and say how did I ever miss this one!! It just made me sad that I never had the opportunity ... Read More: Rating: - one of a kindThe best thing about this 2disc set is the inclusion of most of "It Is Finished", a solo disc unavailable for too many years. Nina's version of Kumbaya - a song that is often the butt of musical jokes, and deservedly so- in its reinvention here called "Come By Here, Lord" is alone worth twice the price of this collection. The folk fluff of the original is forever eradicated and in its place stands an ineffacable creation of epic dimensions, fired joyfully and defiantly by Nina's remarkable piano work. The genius of this woman is always undeniable, but there is an almost startling aspect to her transformation of the mundane here. I doubt Simone has ever essayed a finer version of Bessie Smith's "Sugar In My Bowl" - she and the audience both know ... Read More: Rating: - Really, genuinely outstanding.There is no way that any review can do justice to what is captured within this double album. I would simply emplore you (as I do my friends)to shut up, sit down, and just listen to this woman. I got this album on Christmas morning. It was the first of the CDs that I received, that I put on, and I didn't move until it was finished. I sat and shivered in my pyjamas for the length of the whole album. Never have I been so amazed by a live album. Never have I been so envious of the audience that was actually there for the recording. If ever there really was, earth-moving, soul-stirring stuff, then this is it. It is an out-pouring of 30 years of pain, anger, suppression, damage and resilience. The full brunt of Nina's harsh life ... Read More: Rating: - This is the Best....if you find yourself here, on this webpage, looking at this CD collection, you're clearly already a fan of nina simone, or at least have a healthy interest in her music. all i can say is, please, for the love of God, buy this collection. these three albums might be some of the most riveting,wrenching records in the history of the medium. never have live recordings been so pure and raw. the 18 minute-plus rendition of 'my sweet lord/today is a killer' ALONE is worth the price of admission. trust me, you won't regret it. buy this album. |
