Best Cassandra ever! 
This album has got the X-factor. Great arrangements, nice acoustic sound. I think it is the best Cassandra Wilson has ever come up with! Wow! What more can one say about this CD?!?!

Grown-Up Fairy Tale 
"Belly of the Sun" is an excellent set from this powerful vocalist. Cassandra's smoky alto has a rich luster that brings great expressiveness to the material she writes & selects. Of the tracks by other songwriters, three stand out for me. The opener "The Weight" that was the signature song for The Band & memorably covered by Joan Baez is remade into a delightful rolling classic with the percussion of Cyro Baptista & Jeffrey Haynes giving little tabla sounds that makes the whole track sparkle.... more info

wonderful music and recording
Wonderful music and a beautiful, transparent, open recording. As good or better than Blue Light Till Dawn.

Even the cowboy liked it
I bought this album along with Norah Jones, and definately prefer Cassandra. I was unfamiliar with her work, but heard her on a Sunday morning TV program and was interested in hearing more. I played it one day while working and my husband came in and was so taken by her beautiful renditions of familiar songs that he asked if he could take it to his carpentry workshop. I was amazed. He is pretty much in to a very different type of music. So, now we share it. Worth buying and worth listening to.
