Nina Simone - Sings The Blues (1967) (Vinyl)

Nina Simone Sings The Blues (originally released in 1967) can rightfully be called a true classic in both Soul and Blues genres. The album is a showcase for the intensity of Nina´s soulful croon and demanding piano skills, accompanied by a marvelous backing band with Eric Gale and Rudy Stevenson on guitar, Bob Bushnell on bass, drummer Bernard ´Pretty´ Purdie, Ernie Hayes on organ and Buddy Lucas on both harmonica and sax. With a song selection that ranks among the best Blues tunes ever written, this record goes back to the essence of the Blues - raw and honest spine-shivering melodies.
