- The Basics
Loaded with a voice too gorgeous to categorize, Cassandra Wilson spreads her skills effortlessly between original songs, blues and folk classics, and imaginatively chosen pop standards. She sounds as good on the Monkees' "Last Train to Clarksville" as on Billie Holiday's "Strange Fruit." File under "rare talent."

The turning point in Cassandra Wilson's career came in 1993 with her Blue Note project, Blue Light 'Til Dawn. The unforced power in her voice puts an intoxicating spin on early blues masterpieces like Robert Johnson's "Come on in My Kitchen." New Moon Daughter, from 1995, brought a fine version of Hank Williams' "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry."

Before Cassandra Wilson established herself as a solo force to be reckoned with, she was part of the mid-'80s M-Base "free funk" movement behind the album Blue Skies: a less obscure outing than M-Base fans had been used to. On tracks like "I Didn't Know What Time It Was" there's a strong hint of Betty Carter in her voice.
