Cassandra Wilson – New Moon Daughter (1995/2013) [HDTracks FLAC 24bit/192kHz]

New Moon Daughter is one of Cassandra Wilson’s most-beloved albums, released in 1995 on Blue Note. It reached #1 on the Billboard Top Jazz Albums chart in 1996. Critics noted that the New Moon Daughter, although quite similar to Wilson’s previous album (Blue Light ‘Til Dawn), was darker in feeling and had some very striking, intense performances. Notable tracks include Billie Holiday’s “Strange Fruit”, “Skylark”, and “Last Train to Clarksville”.

Singer Cassandra Wilson, who has had a rather diverse career that has ranged from the free funk of M-Base to standards à la Betty Carter, has in recent times adopted a folk-oriented style a little reminiscent of Nina Simone. On New Moon Daughter her repertoire ranges from U2 to Son House, from Hoagy Carmichael to Hank Williams (“I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry”); it is certainly the only album ever that contains both the Monkees’ “Last Train to Clarksville” and “Strange Fruit.” This disc is a surprise best-seller, for Wilson’s voice actually sounds quite bored and emotionally detached. She deserves great credit for stretching herself, but one has to dig deep to find any warmth in her overly cool approach.
