Nina Simone - Old Jim Crow

About "Old Jim Crow"

Nina Simone in Concert is an album by the jazz singer Nina Simone. It is her first album for the record label Philips, composed of three live recordings made at Carnegie Hall, New York City, in March and April 1964. Simone recorded Nina Simone at Carnegie Hall in 1963 for Colpix.

This album marked the beginning of Simone's explicitly Civil Rights oriented music and she incorporated such messaging in her performances. Included on the album are unambiguous political songs such as "Mississippi Goddamn", released as a single at the time. However, songs such as "Old Jim Crow", "Go Limp", and "Pirate Jenny" contributed to the political and civil rights messaging in a more covert or metaphorical way.

The album was rated as the 94th best album of the 1960s by Pitchfork.
