    you can, but I seriously doubt if anyone here would care one way or the other.

    isn't this a serious disease that needs immediate medical treatment? Cassandra Wilson Complex? JLR, i mean Champagne, go see the doctor immediately. And switch to Sade to avoid further worsening...

    I am not so sure. It wouldn't surprise me if I found a Cassandra Wilson CD in the one Philly Phill's car changer...

    I have paid $ to see her live years ago, but I can't think of a CD of hers that I have kept. Maybe my ears aren't sophisticated enough, but I never really loved her material that much. And there are only a handful of vocalists who work in the same vein who are on her level. She has been doing it for a while now, so respect is due, but I hear where Chapagne is coming from.

    confession time: my very own wife has a Cassandra CD with a Neil Young cover that turns your house into a home with every listening.

    That's the one I have/had also. I am pretty sure I still have it since it's resale value is nil, it's in every used CD store's budget jazz section across the USA. Not a bad CD tho. Still more interesting than a Norah Jones CD.

    I will cosign Reynaldo and Fatback. Not so sure about Raj.

    In fact, the one Faux_Rillz may just be trying to throw us off his own (in)scent.

    unless Ms. Wilson adds activator to her hair and slaps to her 9 minute renditions of Cole Porter jamz you won't find any of her catalogue polluting my good schitt

    Thanks a lot. I hate that shit. I can't even stomach the shit she did with one of my favorite groups, Air.
