[CRAZY-HORSE]

NINA SIMONE "blue lady-my baby just cares for me,volume 1" cd,2002.

this is the first disc of a two disc set,this is studio versions,the other disc is live material.
never really sure where to put Nina as she sort of flits between jazz/blues/soul and pop material, but the majority on here are blues and jazz, so this is where it goes on this occasion.
for some reason this cd has never really been one that i like, not sure why but i prefer Etta James and Billie Holliday for jazz,blues singers of that era and Nina just doesnt cut for me like i know she should.
seven likeable ones here but also seven that i dont like giving a rating score of 1.5,sadly the Shaggy one i posted earlier pips this one,but i dont like that one either.
tried posting this one earlier but i pressed a wrong key somewhere and deleted the whole post, so i cant be bothered posting all links to this one, so several that i do like are posted below including my favourite track "mood indigo". as you probably know i am not a big fan of instrumental pieces of work overall, and there are several on here,none of which i can honestly say i like
