Due to the brevity of this live set (just 33 minutes) and the spoken introductions (which are mostly in French while Nina Simone sings in English), Let It Be Me will only be interest to the singer/pianist's biggest fans. There are some intriguing moments along the way on what is mostly a solo set. Flutist Hannibal helps out on "See Line Woman" and harmonizes vocally with Simone on "Let It Be Me" (he displays a semi-operatic voice), while bassist Tony Armstrong and drummer Lucky Wedgestone are just in the background of a few numbers. Much of the music is call and response, sometimes with the audience helping out. Most interesting are "Ain't Got No/I Got Life" (which is from the show Hair), "Let It Be Me," and the umpteenth version of "Mississippi Goddam." ~ Scott Yanow
This is a good live set, one of her few done recently. ~ Ron Wynn
Having crooned--and sometimes growled--her way through jazz, blues, folk, and even show tunes, Nina Simone remains one of popular music's most versatile and eccentric vocal talents. LET IT BE ME features Simone on piano along with occasional vocal accompaniment by unnamed singers.
In addition to her vast vocal talents, Simone has also written dozens of excellent songs. However, here she interprets a wide variety of contemporary material. Her versions of Randy Newman's "Baltimore," Bob Dylan's "Just Like a Woman," and Janis Ian's "Stars" are all excellent, as is her take on the haunting, African-esque "Be My Husband." Also featured on LET IT BE ME are terrific versions of her self-penned "Mississippi Goddam," "Four Women," and "If You Pray Right (Heaven Belongs to You)." Let It Be Review

| | Billy Bland Let The Little Girl Dance CD (2000)
Let It Be
$10.69 
Includes liner notes by Peter Grendysa.
Digitally remastered by "Little" Walter DeVenne.
Personnel: Billy Bland (vocals).
Liner Note Author: Peter Grendysa.
Recording information: 1955-1963.
Billy Bland's one big hit, "Let the Little Girl Dance" from 1960, gives little indication of his range as a performer. This 29-track anthology of his OId Town recordings from 1955-1962 contains a surprising variety of music, from blues and R&B -- including no fewer than three songs about chickens -- to soul and teen idol pop. Because of his hit, a number of the songs target dance crazes or are about dancing in general, but there's more to Bland than that. "Oh, You for Me" borders on rockabilly, and "Uncle Bud" has strong country elements, which only adds to the impression that Bland was either incredibly adaptable or his producers were flailing about madly trying to score a hit. Both might be true, but Bland definitely demonstrates his versatility on these cuts, and acquits himself well as a blues shouter and a pop crooner. One of his best pop ballads, the self-composed "You Took My Love for Granted," wasn't even released prior to appearing on this collection. Let the Little Girl Dance has all of Bland's chart items (most of which, other than the title track, were very minor or regional hits), plus an alternate version of "Let the Little Girl Dance." Collectables' domestic anthology shares the same title but has four fewer songs and a different track sequence. ~ Greg Adams
Featured here are 29 songs recorded by Bland for Old Town between 1955 and 1963, with five tracks that were unissued at the time, including an alternate (but similar) take of "Let the Little Girl Dance." Bland and Old Town tried a variety of strategies evident over the course of the disc. There are more sub-Jackie Wilson imitations with the "Lonely Teardrops" rhythm ("You Were Born to Be Loved"). There are also fair Bo Diddley-derived tunes ("Chicken in the Basket" is not just a derivation, but an imitation); down-home electric blues with Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee as accompanists ("Chicken Hop"); up-tempo urban jump blues-R&B ("Grandma Gave a Party," "The Fat Man"); doo wop; ...

Audio Mixer: John McEntire.
Recording information: SOMA EMS (01/2004).
In many ways, The Relatives shares similarities with Jeff Parker's first release as a leader, Like-Coping. Parker still favors a clean tone, thoughtful note choices over flash at every turn, and a cooperative aesthetic with his bandmates (Parker had his hand in writing only three of eight tracks). The main differences are the addition of Sam Barsheshet on Fender Rhodes and Wurlitzer, and a more "song-oriented" approach that casts Parker's playing in a new light. There's less of a bebop flavor, although his playing is just as harmonically rich, and these songs ...
