Songbird cherry-picks tracks from the three locally released albums of Eva Cassidy, whose hauntingly beautiful vocals went virtually unheard outside her native Washington, D.C., during her short 33 years with us. Lost to melanoma in 1996, Cassidy sang with an unaffected purity and an astonishing ability to make both classic and contemporary songs sound like they were written just for her. Sting's "Fields of Gold" finally lives up to its title through the alchemy of Cassidy's transcendent rendition, while other tracks on this anthology showcase her ease in the realms of pop (Christine McVie's "Songbird"), soul ("People Get Ready"), gospel ("Wade on the Water"), and traditional standards ("Autumn Leaves" and "Over the Rainbow"). Framed by understated jazz and pop arrangements, Cassidy's clear, soulful voice and exquisite phrasing make her that rarest of vocalists whose interpretations are a complement to any song. A fine introduction to a true talent. --Billy Grenier
Album Description

Her version of Wade in the Water and Over the Rainbow give me the chills. She is an amazing singer and I am so glad that I happened to hear this CD at a bookstore....and took the chance to buy it. It is uplifting, calm, relaxing music.

Eva Cassidy was an amazing artist. This is one of my favorite albums that I go back to again and again.

I can't describe the artist's voice adequately, so take a chance and purchase. If you are a person who delights in unique finds, you will not be disappointed. Her voice is a treasure and a blessing to the ear and the heart. I will purchase the other CDs and lament that there are not more.

I absolutely LOVE Eva Cassidy's music. I use her CD's in most all of the classes I teach. Her voice is like an angel and I am sad that she is no long with us. I am amazed she could sing jazz, blues, folk among other styles. She definitely is a "star" in my eyes and would have been had she lived.
