This review is from: Nina Simone and Piano!/Silk & Soul (Audio CD)

Nina Simone and Piano is the best of her albums by far. It's rich, deep, never gets annoying. Pure piano and Ninas voice. The melody lines are amazing, and couldn't be sung by anyone else, of course. The lyrics are great, not the standard songs you've heard before. The other album on this cd is also great, more like the rest of her music, more speed. It also includes fantastic melodies. I love the crescendos and decrescendos with altogether shifting tunes in the middle of the songs, it always correlates to the lyrics and makes for an altogether unforgetable experience.
