简介:  Let It All Out is one of Nina Simone´s more adult pop-oriented mid-´60s albums, with renditions of tunes by Duke Ellington ("Mood Indigo"), Billie Holiday ("Don´t Explain"), Irving Berlin ("This Year´s Kisses"), and Rodgers & Hart ("Little Girl Blue"). As ever, Simone ranges wide in her selection: Bob Dylan´s "The Ballad of Hollis Brown," a swaggering adaptation of "Chauffeur Blues" (credited to her husband of the time, Andy Stroud), the gospel hymn "Nearer Blessed Lord," and Van McCoy´s "For Myself." "Images" is an a cappella adaptation of a poem about the beauty of blackness by Waring Cuney. All of Simone´s Philips albums are solid, and this is no exception, while it isn´t the best of them. This LP has been combined with the 1965 album Pastel Blues on a single-disc CD reissue.
