About this album
Nina Simone Sings The Blues is one of Simone’s most compelling late-1960s albums, balancing blues feeling with soul-jazz drive and a sharp social edge. Issued in 1967, the record finds her turning material such as Do I Move You?, Backlash Blues and I Want a Little Sugar in My Bowl into performances that are intimate, defiant and deeply personal. The album reflects Simone’s widening range as an interpreter and writer, moving fluidly between standards, protest, and reworked blues forms. Its mix of emotional directness and political awareness helped cement her reputation as an artist who could make the blues feel urgently contemporary.
