Nina SimoneReviews
Nina Simone: To Be Free: The Nina Simone StoryMaybe one day Nina Simone's searing messages and righteous indignation will be completely irrelevant to the here and now, but in these trying times, this fearless leader's music and spirit remains as relevant now as four decades ago. [17 October 2008] 
The Beau Brummels: Beau Brummels 66Two new releases -- a reissue of the Beau Brummels' third LP and a compilation of Nina Simone's pop flirtations -- spotlight great performers turning in sub-par covers of '60s pop. [27 July 2007] 
Nina Simone: Remixed and ReimaginedA whole album of remixes is an unwieldy proposition, but Remixed and Reimagined is an effective exercise in establishing a new context for the work of Nina Simone. [26 October 2006] 
Nina Simone: Sings the Blues and othersWith two brand new reissues and one new compilation, Nina Simone is presented as both pop star and preacher. [16 February 2006] 
Nina Simone: The Soul of Nina SimoneAn excellent DualDisc compilation that shows us Nina Simone the activist, songwriter and performer. [20 October 2005] Blogs
