I could listen to Cassandra Wilson all day and not get bored. Her voice soothes, cajoles and stirs something deep within. I’ve been a fan for years but I’ve only seen her once in concert.
A jazz singer, songwriter, producer and vocalist with an incredible range, Cassandra Wilson blends blues and country easily into her music. She has recorded more than 20 albums and soundtracks and has won several awards, including two Grammys. In 2001, Time Magazine named her “America’s Best Singer.”
Cassandra Wilson was born in Jackson, Mississippi on December 4, 1955.
Give a listen to Until, one of my favorites.
Enjoy!

I’m trying to remember what I’ve heard by her. I know I have but it’s been a long time and I don’t have any of her music. You should check out Maysa. Her voice is like silk.
Listening to her now. OMG, LOVE her!!!
Thanks, Totsy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know, right. That girl’s bad!
Yup, she is!
On one of her songs, she reminded me a little of Phyllis Hyman.
The music is very slow pace. I’ll definitely have to get used to it.
You’re right though I never even thought of that.
