Nina Simone | You’ve Got to Learn (Live)
Across seven songs and 33 minutes, it’s hard to feel like we’ve discovered a new fold, wrinkle, or tear in Nina Simone’s richly cataloged life and music. But even in its brevity, You’ve Got to Learn is a hearty document of how music can motivate a political moment and how the most crucial of these songs reverberate throughout history, particularly as history coils in on itself, repeating the same cruel pattern. Simone’s music and voice still have the ability to deliver us toward righteousness.

Saw this appear somewhere and thought I’d give it a go.
First impression is good. Sounds very Evanessence🤔
EDIT
I spoke too soon. It deteriorated after the first track for me.
I enjoyed the Deadly Headley. Really spacious, almost ethereal production.

It seemed logical to follow on with Evanescence and they’re wonderful debut album ‘Fallen’ (not including self released EP’s etc)

Well if you start it off on symphony no. 14, what do you expect?! You need to lead it in gently with Shostakovich. I’d recommend starting it off on Beethoven followed by Mahler. Maybe then consider Shostakovich, and even then starting with no. 5. Poor thing!

Go Hard or Go Home is my motto…
…but you’re probably right. 
I’ll try him with a bit of Vivaldi - Le Quattro Stagioni later😊
