EVA CASSIDY

jaybo, thanks for the headsup. Looks like it will be released on Aug 28th (according to Amazon). Definitely going to buy it!!!!

I'm a little late to this discussion but find Eva to be somewhat incomparable - her voice may not be more remarkable than many mentioned here, but I think it's the combination of style, humility, recording/arrangements and voice that sets her apart.

I think Alison Kraus and Jenifer Warnes are in that league.

"Too Rich For My Blood"

I like Patricia Barber though not the same as Eva, but I find this song mesmerizing. One of my favorites by anyone.

Interesting the mention of Jane Relf (I thought I was the only one). Sadly there's not enough of her on record - just her work with Renaissance/Illusion (and McCarty). I wish there were more. She's one of my favorite vocalists.

Thank you so much for all the recommendations...will be busy ordering from amazon.....that's the place to look for,right?

Hello Fafafion,

It would of been great to hear how Eva Cassidy's talent would of developed over the years. What a great loss!

If you enjoyed Eva I think you will also enjoy Shawn Colvin. Shawn has a release out entiled "Cover Girl" .... it has a blend of some studio and live cuts on the disc. I'm postitive you will love and be knocked out from the live cuts and also hear a little of Eva in her voice.

Best,
Tom
