"Baltimore" is an album by singer/pianist/songwriter Nina Simone. It is part of her later works, and can be regarded alongside Fodder On My Wings (1982) as one of her better achievements of that period. After completing the album, Nina expressed her dissatisfaction about the album on numerous occasions, mainly because she had no saying in the arrangement, selection of songs and the cover picture. Despite this, critics were very positive about the album, and it gave a resurgence to Nina's then fading career [ [http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=18123 Review of Baltimore and Fodder On My Wings on Allaboutjazz.com] ] .
