I want a little sugar in by bowl

Nina Simone sings  I want a little sugar in by bowl.

The song was released on the album Sings the Blues (1967), based on a song by Nina’s great example, Bessie Smith, but with somewhat different lyrics. A great classic!

I want a little sugar
in my bowl
I want a little sweetness
down in my soul
I could stand some lovin’
Oh so bad
Feel so lonely and I feel so sad

I want a little steam
on my clothes
Maybe I could fix things up
so they’ll go
Whatsa matter Daddy
Come on, save my soul
Drop a little sugar in my bowl
I ain’t foolin’
Drop a little sugar in my bowl

NINA SIMONE – I Want a Little Sugar in My Bowl (1967)

War again

The New York-Israeli hip hop band Balkan Beat Box have released a new song off their upcoming album, Blue Eyed Black Boy, due out this spring on National Geographic Music.

The album was produced and recorded in Tel Aviv and Belgrade, Serbia, during the anti-Kosovo riots.

The song War Again melds sounds of the Middle East with urban electronic gypsy grooves and hip-hop beats, dub rhythms and hard-charging lyrics that criticise the world’s never-ending cycle of violence.
