    There are a couple of excellent tracks towards the end (I put a spell on you, Wild is the wind & African Mailman), but besides that I found the album to be pretty underwhelming.

    The results veer sharply between transcendent and tepid.

    Though Hill shares the honoree’s alto pitch and stern vibrato, she’s transformed the arrangements of these classic songs to nearly the same degree that Simone did on her own versions.

    Whether Hill's singing or rapping, the fearlessness and tempestuous drama in her voice are palpable--and matched by equally raw accompaniment that makes many of the other cuts sound a little too clean by comparison.
