Cassandra Wilson - New Moon Daughter

En su álbum de 1995, New Moon Daughter, Cassandra Wilson está acompañada por un conjunto de intérpretes que se sirve de sonidos provenientes del blues y el country para recrear paisajes rurales.

Situada en territorio del blues, mas sin la idiosincracia propia de una cantante del género, Cassandra se dedica a versionar ingeniosamente a: Lewis Allan (Strange Fruit), U2 (Love Is Blindness), Son House (Death Letter), Hoagy Carmichael (Skylark), Hank Williams (I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry y Memphis), The Monkees (Last Train to Clarksville) y Neil Young (Harvest Moon); aportando algunos originales, entre los que se destaca la deliciosa Until.****
