Nina Simone • Nina Simone and Piano!

 

Review from AllMusic (by John Bush):
Nina Simone and Piano! is a remarkable album that strips everything away to reveal the full range of her talent, accompanying herself at the keyboard with only occasional overdubs of organ, voice and percussion. The result is "pure" Nina. She tackles an extraordinarily varied collection, ranging from the blues standard "Nobody's Fault But Mine" and Randy Newman's then-obscure "I Think It's Going to Rain Today" to Jonathan King's pop novelty "Everyone's Gone to the Moon" and Jacques Brel's "The Desperate Ones." The album stands as one of her finest achievements, in which soul and feeling come before aesthetic appeal or instrumental perfection. Each song is transformed into her material, her vision of the world.

Resena de AllMusic (por John Bush):
Nina Simone and Piano! es un album extraordinario que despoja todo lo superfluo para revelar el pleno alcance de su talento, acompanandose al teclado con solo algunas superposiciones de organo, voz y percusion. El resultado es Nina "pura." Aborda una coleccion extraordinariamente variada, que va desde el blues estandar "Nobody's Fault But Mine" y el entonces oscuro "I Think It's Going to Rain Today" de Randy Newman, hasta la novedad pop de Jonathan King "Everyone's Gone to the Moon" y "The Desperate Ones" de Jacques Brel. El album se situa como uno de sus mayores logros, en el que el alma y el sentimiento se anteponen al atractivo estetico o la perfeccion instrumental. Cada cancion se transforma en su material, en su vision del mundo.
