If you only buy one Nina Simone album then this is the one to buy. As the title of the album states this is 'The Very Best of Nina Simone' and it has been compiled beautifully.

Before I bought the album I only knew one of her songs and yet as the album played out on my dvd player I found myself realising that I didn\'t know she had sung half the songs and that I had heard these on various films and on television advertisements.

The tracks on the album are:

1 Ain't Got No, I Got Life
2 My Baby Just Cares For Me
3 Feeling Good
4 I Put A Spell On You
5 I Loves You Porgy
6 Don\'t Let Me Be Misunderstood
7 The Look Of Love
8 I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free
9 I Want A Little Sugar In My Bowl
10 Do I Move You
11 Do What You Gotta Do
12 To Be Young, Gifted And Black
13 Since I Fell For You
14 Nobody\'s Fault But Mine
15 I Think It\'s Going To Rain Today
16 Sinnerman
17 Times They Are A Changin\'
18 Mr Bojangles
19 Here Comes The Sun
20 To Love Somebody
21 Ain\'t Got No, I Got Life (Nina Simone V Groovefinder Remix) As featured in the Muller TV Ad

The way the album has been compiled is good even if it does swing you from happy to sad and back again throughout. You can see why people like Sir Michael Parkinson rave about the album on their radio shows. When I bought this album I was going through a bit of a rough time and this album has helped to buoy my mood and pull me through, if you are going through a similar thing then this could be the album which works for you too.

Starting and ending the album is the track 'Ain't Got No, I Got Life' and it is the perfect choice. By the time I got to the end I felt like I had been on a journey and come out the other end grasping the light I had been searching for.

Good review although if you write a little about what you thought of each track then you will recieve higher ratings

Good Review, But since this is a music album review you should list all tracks on the album then summarise each track. Include what you thought of each track maybe also you could include information about the instruments that were used or what you thought of the beats. This will help you gain a higher rating, If you are still unsure then check out some of the other reviews on this album or other similar albums to use as a guide to help you improve your review. If you update your review let me know and I will re-rate for you.
