This CD celebrates the finest pop moments from Cassandra, including her achingly vulnerable take on U2's "Love is Blindness", her transcendent version of Neil Young's "Harvest Moon", plus favorites from Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Sting and more.
Singer Cassandra Wilson is a master interpreter of American music. With her unmistakable honeyed husky voice and quaintly rustic aesthetic she has made intimage and personal statements with jazz, blues, R&B, country, and pop chestnuts-few artists can reveal the sensual earthiness of the Monkees tune "The Last Train to Clarksville."
'Closter To You: the Pop Side' celebrates the finest pop moments from her seven album, decade plus legacy with Blue Note. In addition to the aforementioned 1960s nugget, this release features her stark and achingly vulnerable take on U2's "Love is Blindness" as well as her transcendent version of Neil Young's "Harvest Moon" that evokes fireflies and shooting stars. Among its 11 tracks are favorites from Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, and a tenderly romantic version of Sting's "Fragile."
