Loverly is a studio album by American jazz singer
Reception
Andy Gill of
Kathryn Shackleton of BBC commented: "Cassandra Wilson is best known for singing originals and unusual covers, but standards are where she started. Loverly was produced in a rented house in her Mississippi hometown, with assembled invited musician friends who got down to the business of recording then and there. It’s impressive to hear the class and character Cassandra has injected into these 20th century songs."[15] John Bungey of The Times added: "Wilson’s smoky alto remains one of the most beguiling sounds in jazz and blues."[16]
