Belly of the Sun
Belly of The Sun, her fourth release for Blue Note Records, is the classic Cassandra Wilson journey, where borders and boundaries are sometimes pushed, sometimes expanded, sometimes eliminated but always discounted as limitations. Embracing Blues, African, Jazz, R&B, Brazilian and pop sensibilities, Belly of the Sun, is an invitation into the many sounds that have filtered through the musical landscape of the South. Featuring both original material and startling interpretations of material by other songwriters such as The Band, Bob Dylan and Robert Johnson, Belly of The Sun is full of the power of Cassandra's Mississippi roots and the roots of American music. more

"Belly of the Sun" is an excellent set from this powerful vocalist. Cassandra's smoky alto has a rich luster that brings great expressiveness to the material she writes & selects. Of the tracks by other songwriters, three stand out for...

- disappointing effort
Wilson is a good (not great) singer with a great voice who needs to step back and reassess. i have no problem with the crossover approach...the flaws in this CD are 1) the song selection, which too often is uninspired/bizarre (e.g., The...
