{"product_id":"nina-simone-fodder-on-my-wings-lp-vinyl","title":"Nina Simone – Fodder On My Wings","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded largely in exile from an America that had never fully reconciled with her uncompromising politics, Fodder On My Wings captures Simone at her most sovereign. Paris gave her the distance to make something wholly her own, and the result is one of the most unguarded self-portraits in her catalog, written almost entirely in her own hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRecorded in 1982, not long after she moved to Paris, Fodder On My Wings was one of Nina Simone's favorite albums. In addition to having written the music and lyrics for all but one of the album's 13 songs, the back cover proudly states that she 'arranged, conducted and conceived' all of them. Originally recorded for a small French label and only sporadically available since its initial release, Fodder On My Wings is a lesserknown but important part of Nina's musical history. The album contains deeply personal songs, including 'I Sing Just To Know That I'm Alive' and 'I Was Just A Stupid Dog To Them', as well a searing lyrical improvisation about the death of her father on 'Alone Again, Naturally'. Recorded at a time when Nina was feeling rejuvenated by her surroundings and the African musicians she met in Paris, Fodder On My Wings is an essential Nina Simone album that is making a longoverdue reappearance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. I Sing Just To Know That I'm Alive (2:21)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Fodder In Her Wings (5:32)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Vous Etes Seuls, Mais Je Désire Etre Avec Vous (4:27)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Il Y A Un Baume A Gilhead (2:19)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Liberian Calypso (2:57)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. Alone Again Naturally (6:24)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. I Was Just A Stupid Dog To Them (2:23)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Color Is A Beautiful Thing (1:01)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Le Peuple En Suisse (4:56)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Heaven Belongs To You (3:36)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Thandewye (5:29)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. Stop (2:17)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e7. They Took My Hand (0:33)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 602508265334\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Verve\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.3.20\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- discogs-import --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"discogs-import\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Verve Records (00602508265334); UMe (00602508265334)  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2020  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Europe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA1 I Sing Just To Know That I'm Alive – 2:21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA2 Fodder In Her Wings – 5:32\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA3 Vous Etes Seuls, Mais Je Désire Etre Avec Vous – 4:27\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA4 Il Y A Un Baume A Gilhead – 2:19\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA5 Liberian Calypso – 2:57\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA6 Alone Again Naturally – 6:24\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB1 I Was Just A Stupid Dog To Them – 2:23\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB2 Color Is A Beautiful Thing – 1:01\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB3 Le Peuple En Suisse – 4:56\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB4 Heaven Belongs To You – 3:36\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB5 Thandewye – 5:29\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB6 Stop – 2:17\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB7 They Took My Hand – 0:33\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCredits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNina Simone – Arranged By, Conductor, Written By (Conceived By), Lyrics By (English \u0026amp; French), Piano, Vocals, Harpsichord, Shaker, Tambourine, Backing Vocals (Harmony)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSydney Thiam – Congas, Bells, Wood Block\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStanley Chow – Cover, Illustration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSylvin Marc – Electric Bass, Vocals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDaniel Abraham – Engineer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaco Sery – Percussion, Timpani (Tympani)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGiancarlo Cerri – Producer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYves Chamberland – Producer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"relix.shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54547816186174,"sku":"626916","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4609\/5166\/files\/12633315213630-transparent-v2.png?v=1791443430","url":"https:\/\/reserveselects.myshopify.com\/products\/nina-simone-fodder-on-my-wings-lp-vinyl","provider":"Reserve Selects","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
