In stockThe Story
Originally released in 1967, Sings The Blues marks the beginning of Nina Simone's tenure on the RCA label. True to its title, the album is steeped in the blues, with Simone's passionate vocals and nuanced piano lines evoking a beautifully bittersweet world of sultry love and inevitable heartache. Backed by an intuitive ensemble, Simone settles into deep grooves on stirring tracks like 'Do I Move You?' and the slow-burning 'In the Dark,' while getting lightly funky on 'Day and Night.' The showstopper is a haunting solo rendition of 'My Man's Gone Now,' one of the most powerful versions of the Gershwin classic ever recorded.
