5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite, September 2, 2002

Out of all of her recordings that I own, this is easily my favorite. It shows her incredible range of emotion and talent. It may be rude to say this, but I find her much better than Billie Holiday. Nina has better emotionality, in my opinion. If you only buy one, let it be this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars the perfect first nina simone album, October 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Pastel Blues/Let It All Out (Audio CD)

if you are thinking of buying one of Nina's cd's this is a perfect pick!! This cd has jazz, blues, and get you up dancing music all in one! I also love Single Woman but this album is great fun and gets regular play at our house, everyone says "who is this? she is great?". Too bad I didn't get to see her live when she came to the states!!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of My All-Time Nina Favorites, August 30, 2000

This review is from: Pastel Blues/Let It All Out (Audio CD)

This really is an excellent CD! Philips is to be commended for putting two excellent albums onto one CD. The title says it all--Nina really does let it all out, vocally, that is. This remarkable artist tackles everything in the music book---Ellington songs, Billie Holiday ballads, R&B, soul, pop---she can do it all. It's amazing how she takes songs of Billie Holiday (there are 3 here) and remakes them into her own. The covers are just as good, if not better, than the original Lady Day versions. Nina's warm, soothing voice just washes you over and caresses you, and if need be--even jolts you--on some of the songs. Sound quality is excellent.
