Vinyl LP!
"Originally recorded in 1985, following a lengthy semi-retirement from the music business, Nina's Back! is pure Nina Simone. Her vocals and piano front a small and sympathetic band on a well-chosen set of standards and several Simone originals. Of those, 'Fodder For Her Wings' and the intensely personal 'I Sing Just To Know I Am Alive' rank among Nina Simone's finest late-era compositions. The other tracks, particularly an inviting 'It's Cold Out There,' are equally fine." - AllMusic
