Blue Light 'til Dawn is a studio album by American jazz singer Cassandra Wilson. Her first album on the Blue Note label, it was released in 1993. It contains Wilson's interpretations of songs by various blues and rock artists, as well as three original compositions.

The album marked a shift in Wilson's recording style, mostly dropping the electric instruments and funk-influenced work of her earlier albums, in favor of acoustic arrangements influenced by folk and country music. A critical and commercial breakthrough, the album was re-released in 2014 with three bonus tracks recorded live somewhere in Europe during the Blue Light 'til Dawn Tour. The eponymous single was nominated for the Grammy Award as Best Jazz Vocal Performance.

當代地位最高的爵士歌姬 2008年全新專輯

闊別兩年，當代地位最高的爵士歌姬卡珊卓．威爾森終於再度開金嗓演唱。剛在今年王家衞電影“我的藍莓夜”中驚鴻一瞥，以一首“Harvest Moon”讓歌迷望梅止渴，她在這張新專輯中，以一連串經典老歌，讓我們徜徉在她對歌藝、情感和歌詞完美拿捏的聲音世界中。為了這張專輯，她邀來了多才多藝的爵士鋼琴手Jason Moran、吉他手Marvin Sewell和貝斯手Lonnie Plaxico共同合作，並由她親自擔任製作。

在她的巧妙的詮釋下，這些久未聽到卻耳熟能詳的老歌，全都換上嶄新的面貌，讓人聽得大呼過癮。自從20年前Blue Skies專輯之後，威爾森就一直未在探索美國百老匯老歌這個項目的經典歌曲，光是這點就讓這張專輯特別讓人好奇。而威爾森對這些歌曲的處理，儘管她出色的即興風格總是能賦予歌曲新意，但她卻還能兼顧到這些老歌雋永的旋律和膾炙人口的典雅感，而始終能不減損歌曲的這些部份。像“黑人奧菲歐”，她就可以用幾乎不變的旋律，卻用歌聲中的感情來賦予歌曲新意。這樣的作法，讓這張專輯既打破了長久以來爵士歌壇演唱老歌的一些弊病，也創造了一種沒有人能模仿，威爾森式的獨特老歌新唱法，讓整張專輯非常值得珍藏。

Once again she has gathered a band of shining talent, featuring the brilliant Jason Moran on Piano with guitarist Marvin Sewell and Lonnie Plaxico on bass - a band that is so good together that Cassandra was happy to sit in the producer's chair and let the songs speak for themselves. Featuring incredible interpretations of the classics like Black Orpheus, Caravan, and The Very Thought of You, Cassandra is one of the few singers that can genuinely re-invent a song that we all think we know, such as Wouldn't It Be Loverly and turn it breathe new emotional life into it. However, the standout track has to be the stunning funky, soulful, brooding St. James Infirmary which has become a staple of her live set
