Silver Pony is a studio album by American jazz singer Cassandra Wilson, released in November 2010 on Blue Note Records.

[12] The tracks include live improvisations created by Wilson and her band on tour in Warsaw, Seville, and Granada as well as jazz and blues standards.

[13] The album opens with a live version of "Lover Come Back to Me", a 1920s popular song from The New Moon by Oscar Hammerstein II and Sigmund Romberg.

This is one of three live tracks that appeared as studio-recorded versions on Wilson's previous album, Loverly (2008); the others are the traditional song "Went Down to St James Infirmary" and "A Day in the Life of a Fool" by Luiz Bonfá.

[15] Wilson's regular band consisted of Marvin Sewell on guitar, Jonathan Batiste on piano, Reginald Veal on bass, Herlin Riley on drums and Lekan Babalola on percussion.

[14] The album features guest appearances by John Legend on "Watch the Sunrise" and a saxophone solo by Ravi Coltrane on "Beneath a Silver Moon".

[14] The album title and cover art are inspired by an incident from Wilson's childhood in Jackson, Mississippi; "A man came around ... with a pony and camera, and you could pay to get your picture taken.

He questioned the inclusion of the two instrumental tracks because of the change in pace they brought but said that overall, the album "reaffirms Wilson's status as a premier jazz singer".

[17] Reviewing the album for BBC Music, John Eyles was complimentary and said that it continues a "rich vein of form" begun with 1993's Blue Light 'til Dawn.

He enjoyed the contrast between Wilson's soft vocals and the fast tempo of the songs and noted the seamless transitions between live and studio-recorded tracks.

He noted that it was "firmly in the territory" of Wilson's usual eclectic style, that combines blues, funk and the Great American Songbook.
