I was wondering if anyone has heard the new Cassandra Wilson release 'Another Country'. I believe this is her first release on her own record label 'Ojah'. I love her Blue Note years and I'm wondering how this one stacks up. I read that it's a departure from some of her past work.
I just placed my order for it, but I thought I'd get this started as I know there's some big fans of Cassandra here on Agon. Some may not realize this is out as well.
OMG!!!! This might be her best. I am not kidding. The guitar work and percussion is some of the best ive ever heard. On top of that Cassandras voice is as always captivating, smooth and mellow. Any Cassandra Wilson fans will be in love with this. I'm serious when I say possibly her best ever.
Thanks Donjr for the review. Just wanted to let everyone know that it is on Spotify already. I am a big fan of hers!!! Her recordings are usually top notch, and I use many cuts to test my system.
Todd, thanks for the info. It is a very special recording. The guitar work is amazing and that's where this one stands out. Its superb. Enjoy it. We fans are so lucky. Its these special artists that help to keep our hobby alive. Quite honestly if it wasn't for new music I would choose a different hobby. I'm not nostalgic over new music as ive over played it.
