After the preceding job devoted to one of the maximum icons of the music of the ‘900 or rather Miles Davis, Cassandra him ripresenta with another concept-album, devoted the music of the south to the blues of the delta. The Wilson is not an esegeta and doesn't worry him about to seem him/it. To bathe himself/herself/themselves in the blues simply means for her to take an airplane and to go from New York to the delta of the Mississippi (his/her earth) to record a handful of songs, perhaps without not even knowing what.
Who will approach to this last disk of his he/she won't succeed in making himself/herself/themselves a least idea of the blues but will it discover in remuneration one of the best female voices of the States (the best?). L ' only intention of our protagonist is that to sing the things that you/they likes her for time, for which a lot of the included covers don't seem connected to the initial theme. At least three they are famous: "The Weight", indimenticato happened of classification of the Band, "Shelter from the Storm" from what I hold the good album of Dylan and "Waters of March" of Jobim, the more one note of everybody. Perhaps only in the first case something comes of out better of the original version, and it is already so much because in general the interpretation is always delicate, never trascinante and everything anything else other than declamatory.
The refined accompaniment cunningly, rich of bonghi and bonghetti, ago a lot of atmosphere but it doesn't detach for virtuosity neither for imagination. Of which atmosphere I am speaking? Of a heat and relaxed August in the South of the South. The effectiveness with which this scene is recreated by the beginning at the end of the disk testifies after all some goodness of the product. Among the musical influences the most evident is not that of Robert Johnson on the contrary that of Joni Mitchell. The importance of the Canadian singer songwriter on the generation of interpreters to her following it is in reality very generalized that he could also keep silent of it. Yet if he/she is thought about the different origins of the two artists, musically the folk for the Mitchell and the jazz of avant-garde for the Wilson, geographically the cold Canada and the warm South there would be to remain marveled. Both are united by the ability to distill in their jobs the best qualities in musical America. Since the disk of which I am speaking is a big beautiful distillate, the admirers of the old Joni are with the careful ears and pay the due attention to this "Belly of the Sun."
The passages properly blues are only three, it looks at case the briefest, so much that you/they seem some pure intervals where the instrumental accompaniment is to a little sober dir. Among the guests him ultra-ottantenne pianist Boogaloo Ames, in representation of the Missisippi and other two singers, not by chance women (it seems that this music doesn't foresee the contrasts): India.Arie and Watch Richmond. The second, old friend of Cassandra, contributes also with a proper passage, "Road Know Clear". Four the original compositions of the Wilson, that don't disfigure to comparison of the famous covers which is frammiste.
