Absolutely magical: Ingenious tribute album to Billie Holiday.

After the first song (Do not Explain, felt already 1000 times gecovert) I was trapped. A magical atmosphere Cassandra Wilson has created with her producer Nick Launay for her Billie Holiday tribute album there. And so it goes even further: Wilson lived through formally the songs, of which it was believed that they already knew all facets numerous cover versions (such as Strange Fruit or What A Little Moonlight Can Do). Very contributes next to the divine contralto of Wilson in the thrifty instrumentation, for the T Bone Burnett and members of Nick Cave's Bad Seeds (Thomas Wydler and Martyn Casey) responsible draw. Conclusion: For me it is now a hot contender for the cover album of the year (next to Bob Dylan's Shadows In The Night)
