5.0 - What a treasure. So many show-stopping moments on here, from the storytelling on "Four Women" to the intricate piano on "If I Should Lose You" to the vocal bass on "Either Way I Lose." Each song sounds like a classic. Binding it all together is Simone's unmatched chameleonic voice that can equally convey loving tenderness ("Black Is The Color..."), vitriol ("Four Women") and vicious defiance ("Break Down..."). I've been searching for an entry point to Nina Simeone, and I've finally found it.
