A reissue of two recordings that Colpix released soon after Nina Simone left the label to record for Philips. The first nine tracks comprise FOLKSY NINA, and were recorded live with her quartet at Carnegie Hall in 1963. Songs from this acclaimed ... Full Descriptionperformance had already been released as NINA SIMONE AT CARNEGIE HALL, but when Simone left the label in 1963, Colpix found that they had enough material from that concert to put out another record.
These cuts feature treatments of folk songs, showcasing her eclectic taste in material; a highlight of this collection is her version of "When I Was A Young Girl," an emotional tour-de-force. The last 10 tracks comprise NINA WITH STRINGS, an album that Colpix had in the can and first released in 1966, after adding a string section to some of the songs. Highlights include bittersweet versions of the Dietrich classic "Falling In Love Again," and the Rogers and Hart standard "Spring Is Here," as well as "Blackbird," a gorgeous original with an African rhythm.
Includes liner notes by David Nathan.
2 LPs on 1 CD: FOLKSY NINA (1964)/WITH STRINGS (1966).

Folksy Nina/With Strings album
$11.59 Also available as part of the Collectables box THE LEGEND AT HER BEST.
Recorded live at the Newport Jazz Festival, Newport, Rhode Island on June 30, 1960.
To call Nina Simone a jazz singer is to neglect the depth and range of her artistry. A classical pianist, folk singer, protest singer, and songwriter, her arrangements are harmonically rich, varied, and rhythmically experimental, while her voice can go from lounge singer-smooth to raw and exposed in the space of a verse. This CD is a combination of two extraordinary early albums she recorded for Colpix; the first 10 tracks comprise 1961's masterful ...
| | Allman Brothers Band Dreams CDs (1989) Box Set
Folksy Nina/With Strings CD music
$50.15 DREAMS is a 4-CD box set compiling in chronological order tracks by the Allman Brothers Band, as well as tracks by bands featuring one or more member of the Allman Brothers Band and solo performances by Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts.
Recorded between 1966 & 1988. Includes a 32-page illustrated booklet and liner notes by John Swenson.
Like nearly all box sets, DREAMS has plenty to recommend it-and a few nagging drawbacks. The set's chief shortcoming is its two conflicting goals: providing an overview of the Allmans' history, thus attracting buyers seeking the ultimate hits package, and including enough unreleased tracks and rarities to appeal to the band's most devoted fans. As a result, DREAMS is neither the definitive Allman Brothers collection nor the gift to hardcore fans that, say, THE ...

| | Nina Simone Pastel Blues/Let It All Out CD (1965)
Folksy Nina/With Strings songs
$13.95 Recorded live in New York, in March and April 1964. Studio tracks recorded in New York in 1965. Includes liner notes by Joel E. Siegel.
This CD combines two recordings that Nina Simone released in the mid-'60s for the Philips label. The first is the 1965 PASTEL BLUES, an ironic title for the raw, bitter tone of this stark exploration. Beginning with the austere percussion-and-vocal chain gang-like chant "Be My Husband," all the scarier for being penned by her then-husband Andy Stroud, it continues with some uptempo blues classics, such as "Trouble in Mind" and "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out," made all the more unsettling by her stinging vocals. It's thrilling to hear her now-classic version of "Sinnerman," a ...
