Decided to put "Belly of the Sun" on my hard drive today but couldn't find it. It is a family favorite and is probably long gone with one of my daughters. Anyway I bought another copy and played it in the car on the way home.
My favorite Cassandra Wilson album is still "New Moon Daughter" but "Belly of the Sun" is definitely second. It has an interesting mix of tracks and sounds wonderful.
BTW, a couple of years ago I googled "Wichita Lineman" and found many jazz covers of it. Well it does have a great ballad melody.
Anyway here's to Cassandra Wilson. Whether from a house in Mississippi or a studio in LA, let's hope she keeps turning out great records.
