Vocalist, composer and pianist Nina Simone returned from a lengthy self-imposed exile in 1993 with an autobiography and outstanding CD highlighting her still impressive singing and interpretative skills in an intriguing context, surrounded by strings and guitars.
While the backdrops were lush and occasionally corny, Simone's deep, penetrating voice, careful pacing and dramatic delivery kept the songs from becoming sappy.
While she's always been a great protest and political singer, Simone is also a superb romantic/love song stylist.
Simone remains among America's premier performers, and this CD was a welcome addition to her sparkling legacy.
