On Glamoured, singer Cassandra Wilson's fourteenth solo CD, she tries to capture the moment of a daydream where you sink motionlessly into a kind of enchanted twilight world. She knows how to convey this feeling in a magical way in music, which originated in her hometown Mississippi, where blues, jazz, soul, country and gospel coexist peacefully. The rhythm of the songs on this CD does not come from
… the rhythm section as usual, but from the guitar playing of producer Fabrizio Sotti, whose crystal clear arpeggios Glamoured twinkle to a higher level. The open structure gives the listener every chance to dream away peacefully to her music, including covers by Sting, Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan and Muddy Waters. Real sleep will not come, however, because Cassandra Wilson will keep you on your toes for that.more
