Blue Light ’Til Dawn

Cassandra Wilson

A moonlit fusion of jazz, Delta blues, and folk. Cassandra Wilson's deep contralto anchors sparse, acoustic arrangements that feel like a humid Southern night.

Moments Worth Listening For
The skeletal, haunting slide guitar that opens the cover of Robert Johnson's Come On In My Kitchen.
The way her voice drops into a gravelly, subterranean register during the bridge of You Don't Know What Love Is.
The unexpected, hypnotic percussion groove that transforms Van Morrison's Tupelo Honey into a slow-burning ritual.
