Emergency Ward (album)
''Emergency Ward!'' is a 1972 album released by Nina Simone. The title of the record is rendered as "Emergency Ward" on the record label itself, but as "Emergency Ward!" on the cover sleeve. The sleeve also bears the text "Nina Simone in Concert". The album is considered to be Simone's statement on the Vietnam War and has been described as "consistently thrilling" by Allmusic's Mark Richardson.
According to the liner notes, ''Emergency Ward!'' was "recorded live in concert at various locations including Fort Dix". The Japanese release consists of just three tracks. Side one is filled with an eighteen-and-a-half-minute medley of George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord" and David Nelson's poem "Today Is a Killer". This is a very strong, gospel-like performance − "a powerhouse medley ... one of Simone's finest moments"〔 − perhaps recorded in a church. It was performed together with the Bethany Baptist Church Junior Choir of South Jamaica, New York. Side two consists of the Lennie Bleecher−Jeremy Wind song "Poppies" and George Harrison's "Isn't It a Pity" (the latter originally a double A-side with "My Sweet Lord", the ex-Beatle's highly successful first solo single). Despite the "in concert" claim on the album cover, both of these side-two songs feel more like a studio recording than a live one. According to the booklet with ''The Complete RCA Albums Collection'' Boxset, tracks 1 and 4 were recorded November 18, 1971 at Fort Dix, and tracks 2-3 were recorded at the RCA Studio in New York City.
Nina Simone improvises upon and varies the lyrics of the poem and songs, for which she takes all responsibility in the liner notes. Additional information gives credit for choral arrangements and orchestration to Weldon J. Irvine, Jr., to her brother (Sam Waymon) for vocals on "My Sweet Lord", and to her daughter Lisa Stroud (aged nine) for polyrhythms in the same song. Gratitude is expressed to Nat Shapiro and Andrew Stroud.〔Liner notes of the Japanese RVC release of ''Emergency Ward!'' (1973), possible inconsistencies with US release〕
