        *****
Glamoured is a studio album by American jazz singer Cassandra Wilson. The record was released on the Blue Note label in 2003.

Thom Jurek of AllMusic wrote "On Glamoured, Wilson composed half the album, and her songs are as provocative and deserve the same weight of grace critically afforded her covers. She uses her trademark fluid, smoky delivery to redefine songs such as the old soul nugget "If Loving You Is Wrong"; the poignancy it was written with tells of a woman lost in the delirium of a forbidden love with a married man. The ache and euphoria in her voice shot through with producer Fabrizio Sotti's stunning acoustic guitar interplay is nearly overwhelming in its emotion". Nick Dedina of Napster commented "The name of this album refers to those under a spell, which is exactly the effect of this hypnotizing mix of jazz, blues and folk. Recording again in her native Mississippi, Wilson works her magic over interwoven guitars and tribal drums on vivid originals and covers, including a ribald take on Bob Dylan's "Lay Lady Lay".
A reviewer of NPR added "On her latest album, Glamoured, Wilson applies her rich, husky voice to a variety of musical genres". A reviewer of Dusty Groove noted "Don't let the title put you off, because Cassandra Wilson's sounding as soulful as ever – with none of the fluff that you might think from an album called "Glamoured"! The sound is mellow and laidback, with a group that includes Wilson on guitar, alongside a few other guitarists, percussion, and even a bit of harmonica. The instrumentation gives the album a warm and earthy feel that works well with Wilson's vocals".
