Our Take

Right, let's talk about the legendary Nina Simone and her live album at The Village Gate. I mean, where do I even begin with this one? Simone's powerhouse vocals are on full display here, giving us all a masterclass in soul-stirring performance. From the hauntingly beautiful "Black Is The Colour Of My True Love's Hair" to the fiery "Brown Baby," she effortlessly takes us on an emotional rollercoaster.

But hold on to your hats, folks, because we've got seven bonus tracks thrown in for good measure. That's right, seven extra nuggets of musical gold to take this album from great to downright essential. "I Loves You, Porgy" and "Cotton Eyed Joe" are personal favorites, showcasing Simone's versatility and range.

And let's not forget the cherry on top of this musical sundae - a 20-page booklet that delves into the fascinating world of Nina Simone. It's like a backstage pass to the inner workings of a true musical genius.

So, if you're looking for an album that will make you laugh, cry, and everything in between, look no further than Nina Simone at The Village Gate. Trust me, this is one for the ages.

Nina Simone

Nina Simone, a force of nature in the world of music, was a dazzling combination of raw talent and unapologetic rebellion. Born Eunice Kathleen Waymon in 1933, this American singer-songwriter transcended genres with her powerful vocals, soulful piano playing, and unwavering commitment to social justice. Known for her unique blend of jazz, blues, folk, and classical music, Nina Simone captivated audiences with hits like "Feeling Good," "Sinnerman," and "I Put a Spell on You." Her music was a reflection of the turbulent times in which she lived, capturing the anger and defiance of the civil rights movement in the 1960s. But Nina Simone was more than just a musician—she was a force for change. With her captivating presence and fearless activism, she used her platform to speak out against racism, sexism, and inequality. Whether she was performing at the Montreux Jazz Festival or marching alongside Martin Luther King Jr., Nina Simone never shied away from using her voice to inspire change. Despite her tumultuous personal life and battles with mental health, Nina Simone remained a resilient and revolutionary figure in the music world. Her legacy lives on through her timeless music and unwavering spirit, reminding us all to stay true to ourselves and fight for what we believe in. So, to all the soul-searching, heart-wrenching, and politically-charged music lovers out there, Nina Simone is the voice you need to hear. Let her powerful lyrics and soul-stirring melodies transport you to a place where music is not just entertainment, but a call to action. Nina Simone may no longer be with us, but her music lives on, a testament to the enduring power of art to change the world.
