Album Review

Nina Simone was a singular artist, and she went where she pleased, leaving behind a recorded legacy that is passionate, political, defiant, and delicate by turns, no matter what strain of folk, blues, jazz, or gospel she was dipping into, and she did it all with dignity, grace, and intelligence. This set collects five of her earliest albums, including 1957's Nina Simone and Her Friends, 1959's The Amazing Nina Simone and Nina Simone at Town Hall, 1960's Nina at Newport, and 1961's Forbidden Fruit, in a single box. Even at the start of her career, Simone didn't just sing a song -- she made it hers.
