"Feelin' Good" exemplifies the enchanting equilibrium between a forlorn and downbeat sound, yet somehow manages to evoke a sense of joy—perhaps a testament to the essence of blues music. I particularly adore Nina Simone's rendition, not only for her exceptional vocal delivery but also for the captivating arrangement by the band. The warmth and beauty captured in the recording of this track are truly remarkable. Recently, I acquired the Mad Professor "Old School 51 RT" amp, and upon plugging my vintage Harmony hollow-body into it for the first time, the resulting sound was undeniably vintage, rich, and opulent, prompting an effortless outpouring of this soulful song.
