Song information :
“My Man’s Gone Now”, from the opera Porgy & Bess by George Gershwin.
“Backlash Blues”, one of Nina’s civil rights songs. The lyrics were written by her friend and poet Langston Hughes.
“I Want a Little Sugar in My Bowl”, based on a song by Nina’s great example, Bessie Smith, but with somewhat different lyrics.
“The House of the Rising Sun”, previously recorded by Simone in 1962 on [m122308]. After the cover version by The Animals became a hit she re-recorded it. The fast-paced version on this album is completely different from the slow, intimate version Nina did earlier on Nina at the Village Gate (1962).
