Eva Cassiday Blew Me Away with her cover of Wayfaring Stranger....
It caught me by surprise to have my eyes already closed (because of work stress), sitting at my desk with a glass of bourbon. I was cleaning junk up and Wayfaring Stranger comes on by Eva Cassiday, and I had no idea for a moment who was singing the song. I was just listening without active listening.
Well, I was grooving to her movements on this and I thought her tone was big, warm and bold with gobs and gobs of soul. Wow. It woke me up from some stress to experience a moment. That's pretty great.
Is Eva Cassidy worth a deeper dive? I'm only superficially familiar with her and find her talented, if not a touch easy listening at times. I can dig that. Is her catalog diverse in sound scape and production?
At any rate, what a version of Wayfaring Stranger, and it just so happens to be a superb recording to boot!
I'm guilty of giving her not enough attention before. That is my mistake and my loss. Wow. She was a natural talent. I play music but am only average. I can learn a lot of stuff with hard and focused practicing. I've learned to sing way better than I should be able to. There's no way on earth I could ever even hit notes with body that she does and still mean it. I'm bowing down in appreciation. I wish she lived for my selfish love of music. Thank you Eva Cassidy. |
@jbhiller - Not trying to distract from the point of this thread (Eva Cassidy), but just curious. What were you listening to when you heard this? Radio Paradise, Spotify? Radio? Who's playing music like this? Curated or algorithm? Curious... |
