It Is Finished LP

It Is Finished closed out Nina Simone's run with RCA, the label she'd recorded for since 1967, built from sessions in 1971 and 1973 before she left the US amid activism burnout, tax trouble, and a marriage that had come apart. She settled abroad in the years that followed, eventually in Liberia at Miriam Makeba's urging, and the record itself leans on covers, Steppenwolf's "The Pusher" and "Mr. Bojangles" among them. It's less known than her other RCA work, but it gets cited often as one of the most fully realized records she made.
