Nina Simone, die den Blues mehr als Gefühl denn als Form betrachtet, findet auf Pastel Blues, ihrer vierten Philips-LP, Schnittpunkte zwischen dem Heiligen und dem Weltlichen. Unter Verwendung einer reichen Palette von Stimmungen und Emotionen deckt Simone ein breites Spektrum von Liedern ab: Klassiker wie "Trouble in Mind" und "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out", eine Klavier- und Gesangsversion von "Strange Fruit" und den erlösenden "Sinnerman", der als aufsteigender, gospellisierter Gesang präsentiert wird.
Product Information
Nina Simone was one of the best Blues singers of the 20th century. Only someone the likes of Billie Holiday and Bessie Smith had the power to lay a soul bare like she could, as her stripped-down ‘Be My Husband’ shows. Naked like a field-holler, this song would later capture the imagination of Jeff Buckley and Antony Hegarty. Als on this record are classics such as ‘Nobody Knows When You’re Down And Out’, originally sung by Bessie Smith, and Billie Holiday’s signature song ‘Strange Fruit’, as well as a Nina Simone favorite: ‘Sinnerman’. There are few songs that capture the Spirit of religion, redemption, and the fear of God as much as this ten-minute race of a song about a man trying to outrun the Devil. It’s no wonder it was used in the key-scene of ‘The Thomas Crown Affair’ and sampled by the likes of Kanye West, Talib Kweli and Felix da Housecat. Nina Simone never, ever disappoints. Re-released for the first time on vinyl since 1965, we hope we do ‘Pastel Blues’ justice.
