Fodder on My Wings is an album by singer/pianist/songwriter Nina Simone. It is part of her later works, and can be regarded alongside Baltimore (1978) as one of her better achievements of that period.[1] It is however a rather obscure album and not widely distributed. The album is one of Simone's most introspective and personal works, with songs about her father's death and her (not always pleasant) stay in Liberia, Trinidad, and Switzerland. There is some confusion about the actual title of the album and the song with almost the same title on the album, being called "Fodder on My Wings", "Fodder in My Wings", "Fodder in Her Wings" interchangeably. In 2015, the album was reissued on CD in the US by Sunnyside.[2] In April 2020 the album was reissued on vinyl, CD and digital format with an alternative track-listing and new album artwork.

Song information

"Le peuple en Suisse", on this track Simone talks about the people in Switzerland, where she lived for several years. This was not a happy time for her, and Simone found the people in Switzerland very empty and unloving.[3]

Cover art

The album cover shows a painting made by Gabriel Jarnier.
