This unique, stunning compilation brings together 11 tracks that represent Nina Simone's commitment to equality, justice, and political and social change. Bookended by two versions of "To Be Young, Gifted and Black," the set also includes full-length selections from Simone's "Martin Luther King Suite," including "Mississippi Goddam" and "Why? (The King of Love is Dead)," written after King's assassination.
The spirit of the late '60s is alive in Simone's covers of "Ain't Got No--I Got Life" from HAIR, and her take on Bob Dylan's "The Times They Are A-Changin'." But the real revolutionary fervor can be heard in the singer's delivery, which conveys deep emotion and fierce conviction at every turn. Liner notes by the likes of Tracy Chapman, Lauryn Hill, and Alicia Keys attest to Simone's influence and legacy, so that the set feels less like a standard compilation than a monument to what the artist represented.

Railroad Earth, the string band from New Jersey that has amassed a following in the Rocky Mountains, has made three studio albums. But the real test of a jam band, of course, is its live work, and Elko, Railroad Earth's fourth release, is the inevitable double-CD concert album. The sextet has an instrumentation that suggests bluegrass -- an acoustic guitarist, a violinist, a mandolin player, a multi-instrumentalist who plays banjo and Dobro among other things, and a rhythm section of acoustic bass and drums. But it is not shy about using amplification so that the stringed instruments can be heard over the drums, or effects more typical of an electrified ensemble. Thus, the guitar solos that decorate "The Hunting Song," "Head," and "Warhead Boogie" may be played on an acoustic instrument in the technical sense, but they sure sound electric, and the music makes use of echo and other forms of sound manipulation. Still, the overall effect retains a modified acoustic feel. It isn't hard to imagine what records these musicians have on their shelves, say Workingman's Dead and American Beauty by the Grateful Dead, Rubber Soul by the Beatles, John Wesley Harding by Bob Dylan, and Music from Big Pink and The Band by the Band, and throw in recordings by New Grass Revival and the Rowan Brothers, plus, perhaps, the Waterboys' Fisherman's Blues. Lead singer and primary songwriter Todd Sheaffer particularly suggests the Waterboys' Mike Scott in his nasal tenor, which listeners also may hear as resembling Arlo Guthrie, Tom Petty, or Rodney Crowell. The question of whether or not Railroad Earth can jam, if it were really in doubt, is swiftly answered on a 126-minute collection of 12 songs, five of which run over ten minutes each. If there is any discordance in the band's music, it is between Sheaffer, whose songs, with their soul-searching lyrics, ...
