A very interesting take on what seems like an old Irish folk tune... 7 for now...

Is this a parody of Donovan's song "Colors"?  The music is kinda cool...  hmmmm...  I'll leave it unrated...

I have the Nina Simone Anthology CD on my computer, but have to admit that it's been so long since I listened to it that I couldn't remember how the original sounds, so I just switched over for a listen and compare.

The version on the Anthology CD is live but regardless I have to agree with sirdroseph, it blows this remix out of the water.  Much slower, just her voice and a sparse piano.  Absolutely beautiful.

This version comes in one of the numerous Supperclub albums. But where can I find the original version?

This is from her Colpix "Town Hall" album origionally.  1950's.  Imagine that.  "Cotton Eyed Joe", "Afro Cuban Instrumentials",  amazing live performance.  Classic.  One of her very best.

Her voice is very scary in this.
