Product Description

This posthumous anthology is the perfect introduction to the astonishing vocal talents of Eva Cassidy, a young, relatively unknown singer who died of cancer at 33, just as her career was beginning to gain steam. Cassidy, a native of Washington D. C., gained local favor with her pure, straightforward tone and her lovely, tasteful interpretations of everything from standards to gospel to contemporary pop. SONGBIRD is a definitive best-of selection that picks from Cassidy's studio albums and shows the depth and breadth of her skills. SONGBIRD's perfection as a compilation is in its song choice, which covers Cassidy's takes on gospel ("Oh, Had I A Golden Thread"), soul (Curtis Mayfield's "People Get Ready"), pop (Sting's "Fields of Gold"), and well-known standards ("Over the Rainbow"). Cassidy's own perfection stems from her ability to bring the same precise, inventive phrasing and crystalline tone to each individual song, regardless of genre, making it indelibly her own.

Peace in the time of Tragedy
Eva Cassidy's CD arrived this Monday morning, what timing. The voice of an angel belonged to her and we are blessed to have her voice with us. Since Tuesday's attack on America this CD is all that has played in my car and my home. It seemed to offer Peace and I'm sure she was looking down from Heaven to console us all.

This CD is magical
Eva has a golden voice. There is no other way to describe it. It's like listening to an angel. It gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. I've given this as a gift to several friends and they experienced the same thing. Listening to this CD is like taking a retreat to heaven. I strongly recommend it.

Ten out of ten?
I only wish there were some more stars to add to her rating. 5 is not enough for this Songbird album, Eva Cassidy deserves 10/10.
