 Absolutely brilliant!
Being ashamed that I never heard of her before. A female James Taylor! Unique and incredibly pure.

 More of Eva's magic
At first listen,I wasn't that impressed with this CD. It doesn't have any astonishing renditions like Blues in The Night( Is there a better version by anyone?), but the songs like The Water is Wide, and Dark Eyed Molly work a subtle magic. And of course,'If it Ain't Got That Swing' is classic.

 Listen to "You Take MY Breath Away" Magnificent!
I've played through the American Tune CD, and have been listening to "You Take My Breath Away," and "American Tune," both great tracks. I can get entralled with the whole CD yet these two tracks grab me and won't let me go. "You Take My Breath Away," is so hypnotic like the affect of listening to "Danny Boy," This song however brings back visions of ones' romantic past. You can go all the way back to your first romance, when you fell in love, to the loves you still remember that will always be in your supressed memory. It's to be played over and over again, until those images grow deeper and deeper into your psyche. It is so beautiful. I can listen to it as if in a meditative trance. I will never tire of this song. Please don't miss, "You Take My Breath Away." "American Tune," well, what can I say, a lot of imagery, very emotional with deep thoughts of the strengths and struggles this lifestyle requires, from America's inception, through the current identity crisis washing upon us, with the terrorists and the decision to invade Iraq. The overriding everyday responsibility of working, and making a future, to many of us, is very exhausting. Eva has nailed this song and the message is "hope." When, and if, this song eventually becomes the modern day American anthem, perhaps we can see how all those people, like Eva, who work so very hard to make a living in this country, are affected by Eva's music. What about these songs? They have been worth the price of the album and then some.

 Best Song Stylist
If you like the voice, there will never be a bad album put out by Eva Cassidy. It has always been her ability to put her spin on a song and make her own that makes her such a unique stylist. She is the female "Frank Sinatra". Although, I still think her best song is "I Know You By Heart"

 Eva Cassidy ASmerican Tune
I have heard 5 of the tracks from this album. Even if the other tracks are dreadful (which I doubt) it would be worth buying. I have in fact pre-ordered copies for myself and others. Lets get this abum to #1 and make it three in a row. Blue Skies Chris
