| | Nina Simone In Concert CD Nina Simone Discography of CDs
This is probably the most personal album that Simone issued during her stay on Philips in the mid-'60s. On most of her studio sessions, she worked with orchestration that either enhanced her material tastefully or smothered her, and she tackled an astonishingly wide range of material that, while admirably eclectic, made for uneven listening. Here, the singer and pianist is backed by a spare, jazzy quartet, and some of the songs rank among her most socially conscious declarations of African-American pride: "Old Jim Crow," "Pirate Jenny," "Go Limp," and, especially, "Mississippi Goddam" were some of the most forthright musical reflections of the Civil Rights movement to be found at the time. In a more traditional vein, she also reprises her hit "I Loves You, Porgy" and the jazz ballad "Don't Smoke in Bed." This LP was combined with the 1965 album I Put a Spell on You on a CD reissue. ~ Richie Unterberger
Personnel: Nina Simone (vocals, piano); Rudy Stevenson (guitar); Lisle Atkinson (upright bass); Bobby Hamilton (drums).
No Depression (p.112) - "Simone reasserted music as protest, in the strongest sense of the word....As essential to any record collection as A LOVE SUPREME or STICKY FINGERS." Nina Simone In Concert Songs In Concert Review

In Concert
$13.49 
San Francisco's Blind Pig Records celebrates their 20th anniversary with this two-disc, 36-track collection featuring over two hours' worth of highlights from their many releases with a few unreleased bonus tracks to spice up the mix. Originally started as a sideline to a blues club in Ann Arbor, MI, with an ear toward documenting the local scene and blues artists who played there regularly, Blind Pig has grown to record new artists like Debbie Davies, Joanna Connor, Tommy Castro, Jimmy Thackery, and Sarah Brown, while more traditional bluesmen like Otis Rush, Snooky Pryor, Walter Horton, James Cotton, and Jimmy Rogers have all stopped in at various points and recorded an album or two for the label. Although the label already has one retrospective available (The Blind Pig Sampler), this one brings matters more up to date, including tracks from Coco Montoya ("Monkey ...

In Concert
$11.69
HELLO NASTY won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Performance. "Intergalactic" won the 1999 Grammy for Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group.
On their fifth album and first proclamation in four years, the Beasties pledge allegiance to the next millennium while rocking out old-school stylee. Instead of pretentiously haphazard schizophrenia, Adrock, Mike D and MCA mold Run DMC boasts, Lee Perry dub freestyles, and introspective acoustic strumming into the best album-cum-mix-tape of the first half of '98. NASTY is the true successor to their sampledelic fantasia PAUL'S BOUTIQUE, as realized by craftsmen looking to do more than just get crazy with the sonic cheese whiz.
"Super Disco Breakin'," "Body Movin'," etc. are all first-rate party jams that the trio can probably come up with in their sleep. It's when ...

In Concert
$10.65
Although he previously spent time in Cleveland rock outfits such as 4 Coyotes and Gem, Tim Tobias is probably best known for his time playing bass in the alcohol-fueled touring machine Guided by Voices. (In 2005 he was unceremoniously deleted from GbV history by James Greer's authorized GbV biography, A Brief History: Twenty-One Years of Hunting Accidents in the Forests of Rock and Roll.) Having parted ways with Guided by Voices shortly before the band retired, Tobias re-emerged as a singer and guitarist for Bloom. The group shifted lineups and was renamed Clouds Forming Crowns. CFC's eponymous debut effort is comprised of material collected over the course of a few years. As a result, it sometimes lacks the cohesiveness of a proper album, with momentum ebbing and flowing throughout. Admirably, the album's strongest attribute is how little it sounds like Guided ...
