new Eva Cassidy "Somewhere"

I think i remember hearing that there was some music found not too long ago and probably put together to make some $$$..Eva had an uncanny ability to pur her sole into all her music..Unfortunetly the recordings ( from what I have heard ) aren't anywhere near as good as the Performance...

I am listening to this cd right now and as I said in my original post, this is definitely not her finest work. For the first time Eva fan I would recommend American Tune or Imagine or Songbird. That being said, this cd is not horrible. There are some highlights. Again, a good cd for the true Eva fan.

the tracks were not released because(at the time) it was felt they were not m.o.r. fare, and were a bit out of the ordinary for the fans that were into her softer side. her r&b chops were spectacular, and these recordings really show off her versatility. the lp is coming too.

As I understand it there are two compilation albums, Songbird and Wonderful World, which would probably be best for someone who just wanted to sample.

I avoided these and a while ago bought Live at Blues Alley, Time After Time and Imagine.

Having enjoyed these three greatly--what a unique voice!, I figured I'd pick up Eva by Heart and American Tune at the same time as when Somewhere came out, which obviously it just has.

So is the consensus that Somewhere is only for the absolute completist, or would it still be worthwhile for an enthusiast?

it certainly won't disappoint. the title tune alone is among her best.
