5 stars Top ten album
One of the ten albums I'd bring going to that island. Most covers are better than the originals. Can't bė? Listen!

4 stars Great Range
Fantastic range of singer of such a young age. Shame she died so early and this album is wonderful. Her version of Songbird has a slight blues edge to it, and it works. The other songs range from Ballads to Jazz/Blues numbers and showcase her fabulous range.

5 stars Eva Cassidy will blow you away
With her soulful tones, Eva just took my breath away. Any cover she did, she now owns. Whether reflecting or sharing, Songbird is timeless.

5 stars Hauntingly beautiful
I have never heard Fields of Gold, Songbird, and Over the Rainbow sung with such a beautifully clear interpretation. Her voice haunts me even when I'm not listening to this beautiful disc. The whole album is among my all-time favorites, but these three songs are unmatched.

5 stars Eva Cassidy Ranks with Streisand, Ronstadt, Eder
I didn't discover Eva Cassidy until long after her death, but even now, after listening repeatedly to "Songbird," I am astonished that none of the tracks in this compilation CD ever made it to "hit" status. Eva's work isn't for you if you're into head-banging, boy bands, rap music (that oxymoron again!) or top 40 rock/pop. Her voice is pristine, bell-clear, and as expressive as an American voice has ever been. When the title track comes up (a Christine McVie song), I hit the Repeat button...and float away into the mature romantic music we don't hear much anymore. NOT elevator music; this is the real thing for grown-up lovers.

Principally recorded at The Maryland Inn, Annapolis, Maryland. Includes liner notes by Kevin Howlett. As is so often the case, the talents of singer Eva Cassidy did note come to public attention until after her death. Cassidy died at a mere 33 years of age in 1996, and up until then she'd only been known in the local music scene of Washington D.C. Subsequently, a word-of-mouth groundswell earned her posthumous popularity in England, which then wafted back over to the U.S. TIME AFTER TIME is a good introduction to Cassidy's work. More an interpreter than a writer, Cassidy completely inhabits everything from Simon & Garfunkel's folky ballad "Kathy's Song" to Joni Mitchell's hippie anthem "Woodstock" and Bill Withers's brooding R&B classic "Ain't No Sunshine." Throughout the album, her singing is consistently both strong and reserved, betraying emotion without resorting to showy indulgence. An apt comparison might be an updated, American Sandy Denny, with whom Cassidy shares a special kind of quiet soul. 12 Prev.Unrel.Tracks;9 Covers & 3 Originals Eva Cassidy Band: Eva Cassidy (vocals, acoustic & electric ...

Eva Cassidy Imagine CD  (2002)

Songbird album
CD $13.49  4.7 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Following Eva Cassidy's 1996 death from cancer at the age of 33, word-of-mouth popularity in America by way of England led to a number of stellar posthumous releases mixing live and studio recordings. 2002's IMAGINE follows the same path and is no less impressive. Front and center is the late D.C. native's stellar vocal timbre that allowed her to interpret a wide range of songwriters. In the studio, she easily moved from a slinky version of Little Willie John's "Fever" (featuring interesting support on fiddle by brother Dan) to a soaring interpretation of "I Can Only Be Me," a Stevie Wonder composition originally recorded by Keith John for the SCHOOL DAZE soundtrack. The most notable in-concert performances featured here come from intimate Annapolis venues like the King of France Tavern and defunct Pearl's. These gorgeous solo acoustic readings include the standard "Danny Boy" and Gordon Lightfoot's "Early Morning Rain." Most fitting is Cassidy's take on "Who Knows Where The Time Goes" by Sandy Denny, a singer she's most often compared to. In light of the acclaimed success of the stylistically similar Norah Jones, the mind boggles at the heights Eva Cassidy ...

Eva Cassidy American Tune CD  (2003)

Songbird CD music
CD $13.49  4.8 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
After seven posthumously released and well-received records, the tragic story of Eva Cassidy has passed into the realm of cult legend. The notoriously shy D.C.-area performer with the most powerfully gentle voice could render any song, no matter how well-known, no matter how frequently turned to by other singers, into her own. In fact, this eighth release, AMERICAN TUNE, contains a reworking of perhaps the most covered song of all time, the Lennon-McCartney ballad "Yesterday," and despite thousands of versions, she discovered a new interpretation hidden within the folds of the familiar. At this point, it's practically impossible to disassociate "God Bless The Child" from Billie Holiday's original, and many have added their own takes, but Cassidy's voice earnestly and artfully rolls over the tune and a new angle emerges. Most remarkable about AMERICAN TUNE is despite the diversity of the sources, her voice forges a discernable, undeniable thread between songs; Cassidy is as comfortable with soul as traditional folk, pop as jazz, and her irreplaceable voice could wrap around just about any song. Usually, by this point, the well of a talent that passed so ...
