Cassandra Wilson: Glamoured 2LP (Blue Note Tone Poet Series)

Cassandra Wilson

Blue Note, 2003

A singular jazz singer who brings the blues, folk & pop into her music in a strikingly original way, Cassandra Wilson's nine brilliant Blue Note albums earned her wide acclaim, Grammy Awards & a legion of fans. Released in 2003, Glamoured found Wilson working with producer Fabrizio Sotti on 12 songs split between her own compelling originals and artful covers of songs by Sting ("Fragile"), Luther Ingram ("If Loving You Is Wrong"), Bob Dylan ("Lay Lady Lay"), Willie Nelson ("Crazy"), Muddy Waters ("Honey Bee") & Abbey Lincoln ("Throw It Away"). The result is a sophisticated, rootsy album which defies genre boundaries.
