Broadway, Blues, Ballads

excellent selection of known and little known songs

I bought this album when it was first released on vinyl and just wanted a copy to play in the car, as it has a couple of my very favourite Nina Simone tracks.

Always good.

Beautiful songs beautifully sung, some I'd never heard before. Lush, relaxing music, except the 50's novelty "bonus track" which I always skip now.

Brilliant

apart from the bonus track called "a monster" (a real stinker)this album (1964)is brilliant.she didnt really do many albums like this (big show numbers) ,but i for one am so pleased she did.she even covers a trite song "the laziest gal in town"and makes it sound good.she also does the same with the "last rose of summer". yes really,The last rose of summer!and i'm not afraid to say that is one of my favourite tracks here.plus the rythmic "see-line woman".another early goody from ms. simone
