Chrome Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 Does anyone have any input on this CD? I've got Wilson's first two and like them very much. But on this, she wrote lyrics to Davis' tunes, right? How does that come off? Are the lyrics any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 I need to dig this one out again and listen to it soon. I don't even remember any of the lyrics! But I do like the cd, I think there are some very good performances on this cd from Cassandra and her backing musicians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 It works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 I enjoy it. The opening track, a version of "Miles Runs the Voodoo Down," is amazing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morganized Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 I have not really been too keen on her more recent work, Belly of the sun and new one Glamour, but this one I like along with her early work. Blue Light Till Dawn, etc. Traveling Miles is very unique in some was. She brings a lot of respect to the tunes. It is worth checking out IMO. Not for everyone but there is some good stuff here.

chuckyd4 Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 I also thought that first track was amazing. I still spin that one on a regular basis... though I wasn't sure the rest of the album lived up to that killer opening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medjuck Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 (edited) I listened to this a lot when it first came out. Really liked it and found that it increased my enjoyment of the original versions by Miles-- though she doesn't always reference those versions. Her recording stands on its own and seemed to me to be more of a piece than her more recent cds. Edited January 8, 2004 by medjuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montg Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 I like this one too. I think Stefon Harris guests on Seven Steps and it really swings. The Cyndi Lauper song Time after Time...well, I really like it (Cassandra's version, that is). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bright Moments Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 it's worth getting just to listen to regina carter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
