Another Country (Cassandra Wilson album)

Another Country is a studio album by American jazz vocalist Cassandra Wilson, released in 2012 on the eOne Music label. The album represents a departure for Wilson, focusing on a more European and folk-inspired sound compared to her previous blues and jazz-centric work.

The album primarily features Wilson on vocals, backed by guitarist Fabrizio Sotti. The instrumentation is sparse, highlighting the interplay between Wilson's voice and Sotti's guitar. Many of the tracks are original compositions co-written by Wilson and Sotti, alongside interpretations of songs by artists such as Enricu Macias and Bart Howard ("Fly Me to the Moon").

Another Country explores themes of love, loss, longing, and the immigrant experience. The overall mood of the album is melancholic and introspective, with a focus on atmospheric textures and emotional nuance.

The album received generally positive reviews, with critics praising Wilson's vocal performance and the unique sonic landscape created by the collaboration with Fabrizio Sotti. Some critics noted the starkness and relative simplicity of the album compared to Wilson's earlier work, while others appreciated the change in direction.
