Pastel Blues by Nina Simone.
or Rating:
Tracks:

Chilly Winds Don't Blow
Ain't No Use
Strange Fruit
Sinnerman
Performer Notes: If this is blues, it's blues in the Billie Holiday sense, not the Muddy Waters one. This is one of Nina Simone's more subdued mid-'60s LPs, putting the emphasis on her piano rather than band arrangements. It's rather slanted toward torch-blues ballads like "Strange Fruit," "Trouble in Mind," Billie Holiday's own composition "Tell Me More and More and Then Some," and "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out." Simone's then-husband, Andy Stroud, wrote "Be My Husband," an effective adaptation of a traditional blues chant. By far the most impressive track is her frantic ten-minute rendition of the traditional "Sinnerman," an explosive tour de force that dwarfs everything else on the album. ~ Richie Unterberger
Professional Reviews: No Depression (p.113) - "Simone's piano moves to the fore, as the mood shifts from the reflective to the ecstatic."
Format: Vinyl (1 Disc)
Country: USA
Studio/Live: Studio
Release Date: 22 July, 2016
Dimensions: 30.5 x 30.5 x 0.3 centimeters (0.32 kg)
