SINGS & PLAYS THE BLUES [180G BLUE VINYL LP]

LP

180 gram blue vinyl compilation.

There can be no doubt that Nina Simone was one of the great Black American women who bridged the movement from Blues and R&B to Soul. She was nicknamed ‘The High Priestess Of Soul’ and spoken of in the same awed tones as the likes of Etta James, Aretha Franklin and Ruth Brown, but in so many ways she trumps all of them with her musicality and versatility. This release emphasizes her bluesier side.
