Eva Cassidy

Philefreak:

Agree totally and 110%. All proceeds from the sale of her CD's goes toward a foundation in her name doing cancer research. Don't forget to order "The Other Side" which is a duo CD with Eva and Chuck Brown.

What a wonderful voice, coming from a person who enjoyed very simple things, and had to be coaxed on the stage, she made little of her talent that was lost to us way sooner than it should have been.

Philefreak; I agree with you and Beemer. I now have all of her CDs, but the one that got me started was "Live at Blues Alley", and remains my favorite.

I had a thread not too long ago called something like "Music Finds for the Month", and my "finds" were Eva Cassidy and Holly Cole. There were quite a few members who commented on Eva Cassidy especially. Craig

She was truely gifted with a wonderful voice. It was amazing that she was able to fly under the radar screen for so long with her voice. Now people are finding out about her and her music after a People Magazine article.

Don't buy "No Boundaries." It is said to be "overproduced pop drivel that Eva surely would not have wanted released were she still with us today," and I understand that Eva's parents did not want it released.

Buy The Other Side, Live at Blues Alley, Eva By Heart, Songbird and Time After Time. I dont have Songbird, but I read that it went platinum and recently topped the charts in the UK.

No Boundries is ok, but like you say over produced.
I love "Time after Time" her guitar work on this disk is by far her best. Blues Alley is my second favorite, but no matter wich she was a real talant that gets played all the time here! Thanks to her parents for allowing her to live on.
