Info for Coming Forth by Day

Cassandra Wilson will release an otherworldly homage to Billie Holiday, Coming Forth By Day (Legacy Recordings) on what would have been Holiday's 100th birthday.

Wilson, who has drawn inspiration from Billie Holiday for her entire life, chose the title as a way to honor the iconic singer: Coming Forth By Day is an English translation of the title of the ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead, a collection of magic spells intended to assist the journey of those that have passed on through the afterlife.

Coming Forth by Day is an homage dedicated to the beauty, power, and genius of Billie Holiday. A collection of musical spells, prescriptions for navigating the dubious myths surrounding her life and times, this record is a vehicle for the re-emergence of Billie s songbook in the 21st century, says Cassandra. The album was produced by Nick Launay, who has worked closely with Nick Cave for the past decade in addition to Arcade Fire and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. It includes guitarists T Bone Burnett and Nick Zinner of the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs, string arranger Van Dyke Parks, rhythm section The Bad Seeds (drummer Thomas Wydler and bassist Martyn P.
