Title: What A Difference A Legend Makes
Review: A rich canon as Washington's deserves homage by an artist who will comprehend the aesthete...here, big voiced, bland R&B one-maybe-two-hit wonder Cox wheezes her way through intricate melodies she'll never understand as if this were Jazz week on American Idol. Her vacuous, anonymous vocals bring nothing refreshing or even new; they just limp along in languid reinterpretation, always singing just below the accurate note and leaving no stain to call her own. Who does she think she is, Cassandra Wilson? My grade: C+
