Nina Simone- Folksy Nina-LP

Folksy Nina captures a unique set of live performances from Nina Simone’s 1963 Carnegie Hall concert, offering a more intimate glimpse into her repertoire with selections like "Silver City Bound" and "You Can Sing A Rainbow." While it shares roots with the earlier Carnegie Hall release, this album highlights the folk and traditional songs that showcase Nina’s ability to bridge genres with her piano and voice. The mix of English and Hebrew titles such as "Erets Zavat Chalav" reflects her diverse musical interests and willingness to bring lesser-known material to a wider audience, making it a distinctive chapter in her catalog. This 2018 reissue comes pressed on 180-gram vinyl, providing a sturdy format for collectors who appreciate a substantial package. The vinyl here is graded VG++, which means it’s glossy and very clean with only minor, faint marks typical of careful handling rather than wear. For those who like their Nina Simone with a touch of folk flavor and a side of concert-hall authenticity, this pressing offers a well-preserved window into an evening where the artist’s versatility was on full display—proof that even a “folksy” night at Carnegie Hall can have a few surprises up its sleeve.

Sound samples are included to help you get a feel for the music, but they may not always match the exact pressing or track version of the record listed. When in doubt, trust the photos and pressing information - that's the actual record you're buying.
