A profound roots jazz piece that reflects the atmosphere of Mississippi
Recorded in Clarksdale, Mississippi, this album blends blues, folk, and soul, and includes covers of Bob Dylan and others.
This important album traces Cassandra Wilson's roots. Recorded in an old train station in Clarksdale, Mississippi, it reconstructs the indigenous music of the American South for a contemporary audience. Blending elements of blues, folk, country, and soul, it features covers of Bob Dylan's "Shelter from the Storm" and The Band's "The Weight." Her deep, smoky alto voice blends seamlessly with the acoustic arrangement, creating a warm, bluesy masterpiece.
