Our Take

Nina Simone's iconic live album, Nina Simone At Town Hall, has been re-released on stunning marble vinyl, providing a fresh take on a timeless classic. Simone's powerful vocals and unparalleled piano skills command attention from the first note, transporting listeners to a dimly lit jazz club in 1959.

The album opens with "Black Is the Color of My True Love's Hair," a hauntingly beautiful rendition that showcases Simone's emotional depth and raw talent. Her cover of "Exactly Like You" is a lively standout, with Simone infusing the track with her signature flair and charm.

As the album progresses, Simone's undeniable charisma shines through on tracks like "Summertime" and "Fine and Mellow," leaving listeners mesmerized by her ability to convey emotion through every key stroke and vocal run.

Simone's rendition of "Strange Fruit" is a chilling reminder of the injustices faced by African Americans during the civil rights era, with her haunting vocals painting a vivid picture of the pain and suffering endured by so many.

Overall, Nina Simone At Town Hall (Marble Vinyl) is a must-have for any music lover looking to delve into the depths of jazz and blues. Simone's talent is truly unmatched, and this re-release only serves to solidify her status as a music legend. So grab a glass of wine, dim the lights, and let Nina Simone transport you to a bygone era of musical excellence.
