250 Albums- An Arbitrary Rumble Through My Record Collection # 233 Nina Simone - Forbidden Fruit


Nina is mandatory. I've just had a hot, hot bath and put a Nina on to keep me company . As the steam rose and the sweat gathered I resolved to put it on again and listen properly when I was at my desk with a tumbler of iced water.Listen to ut properly.

The album doesn't matter much . A compilation or a studion album. Something bought in a charity shop. Something new. Nina's a genre unto herself. Blues, meets Jazz. Meets Folk meets Bach. Meets Pop meets Black consciousness. Rage meet Grief meets Love Meets War. Sorrow Meets Grace. Meets Nina.It's wonderful to be in the company of such strength and resolve. It gives you faith in yourself. Inspirational.  .
