This is probably the most personal album that Simone issued during her stay on Philips in the mid-’60s. On most of her studio sessions, she worked with orchestration that either enhanced her vocals tastefully or smothered her, and she tackled an astonishingly wide range of material that, while admirably eclectic, made for uneven listening. Here, the singer and pianist is backed by a spare, jazzy quartet, and some of the songs rank among her most socially conscious declarations of African-American pride: “Old Jim Crow,” “Pirate Jenny,” “Go Limp,” and, especially, “Mississippi Goddam” were some of the most forthright musical reflections of the Civil Rights movement to be found at the time. In a more traditional vein, she also reprises her hit “I Loves You, Porgy” and the jazz ballad “Don’t Smoke in Bed.”
