i've had for years, and i love it. it's a 2 disc anthology.

i've been meaning to check out her proper albums...so i'm interested in the responses here too.

I absolutely love that Nina Simonje Sings the Blues album, so of those you posted, I'd recommend it...although none of 'em are bad.

Still, the mention of an anthology is really a pretty good way to go with an artist with such a long and diverse catalog. That way you can get an idea of which periods you liike and hear for yourself where you'd like to go.
