Cassandra has returned to the style of song and back up support that developed her original fan base. Hopefully, she will continue to explore more jazz related material that really brings out the unique voice of Cassandra Wilson.Free Music Review: A LITTLE LOVERLY
Hit: 3 Stars
Seeing other very positive reviews, I guess I was expecting something special. It is good, for sure, but there are a few aspects which stop it being great. The informality of the session is nice, but it does sometimes sound like a rehearsal. Wilson's voice has that unusual but appealing lugubriousness, but she does occasionally let herself down intonation-wise. The band are fine individually but sometimes get in each others' way. For example, when Sewell and Moran are both comping behind Wilson,it gets a bit too cluttered for my taste. Indeed, Sewell is a guitarist who I'd happily go to see perform, but I don't regard him as an ideal accompanist (rather like having Scofield there--that wouldn't work as well as , say Anthony Wilson or Russell Malone)Free Music Review: Good CD, not her best, probably

This CD seems to be recorded 'live' in the studio. You can hear Wilson directing the band whilst singing in certain places. Also, her while other musicians are soloing - you can hear her jovial self courting them with little phrases as they jam - thru open mics during the recording. Hence the production sounds a bit amateur-ish. Perhaps that is precisely what Wilson is going for. The song choices are certainly agreeable.
I saw this band live just after they recorded this album in Florida and the tunes sounded a bit more refined then. Overall an enjoyable ensemble of musicians and tunes. I still prefer the Thunderbird album, personally. Maybe my hopes were too high...
Free Music Review: pretty good
Hit: 3 Stars
pretty good cd. Im waiting for her to do some pop & Christian/ worship cd which would be better for her voice & would show what kind of voice she truly has.Free Music Review: not as good
Hit: 3 Stars
I like Wilson. This CD was not as exciting as suggested by a review I read (in the New Yorker ??). She seems to lack energy. Too much of it was the same.
