The first time I heard Eva Cassidy, I was driving and her version of "Fields
of Gold" came on the radio. I literally had to pull over. It took my breath
away. Then, when I heard "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" I melted (no pun
intended...) into a puddle of tears.
Eva's voice cannot be described, except to say that if there are angels,
they wish they could sing like her.
I'd recommend starting with "Songbird" which is available at amazon.com.
You'll find that Eva didn't believe in genres at all. She didn't simply like
various musical styles, she was fluent in them.
Unfortunately, Eva died of cancer at age 33.
If you haven't experienced Eva's music yet, you owe it to yourself to do it.
(I still recall sitting around Chuck E's living room, listening to
"Songbird." Patrick L, I think it was you that we were introducing to Eva's
music. Anyway, we were all in awe - and I daresy still are.
lots of love
Anne
