Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0739341004520 Label: Blix Street Manufacturer: Blix Street MPN: 410045 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Blix Street Release Date: May 19, 1998 Studio: Blix Street Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Songbird cherry-picks tracks from the three locally released albums of Eva Cassidy, whose hauntingly beautiful vocals went virtually unheard outside her native Washington, D.C., during her short 33 years with us. Lost to melanoma in 1996, Cassidy sang with an unaffected purity and an astonishing ability to make both classic and contemporary songs sound like they were written just for her. Sting's "Fields of Gold" finally lives up to its title through the alchemy of Cassidy's transcendent rendition, while other tracks on this anthology showcase her ease in the realms of pop (Christine McVie's "Songbird"), soul ("People Get Ready"), gospel ("Wade on the Water"), and traditional standards ("Autumn Leaves" and "Over the Rainbow"). Framed by understated jazz and pop arrangements, Cassidy's clear, soulful voice and exquisite phrasing make her that rarest of vocalists whose interpretations are a complement to any song. A fine introduction to a true talent. --Billy Grenier Album Description: Songbird is a posthumous anthology culled from the album Live At Blues Alley and her other solo release, Eva By Heart, along with one track from her 1992 duet album with Chuck Brown titled The Other Side.

 Rating: - Songbird by Eva CassidyThe CD is in mint condition, and exactly as I expected. A perfect purchase. Rating: - A must have for your collectionIf you are looking for music to put on when you need some quiet time or romantic background music this is great. I've been a fan of her stuff for awhile but this album is my favorite especially the song, Songbird. Eva was truly amazing and everyone should have a copy of this. Rating:  - Looking for CD SongbirdJust what I was looking for. CD is no longer available, so I emailed the Co. & they found me a used one. Thank you. Rating: - Angel's VoiceI heard Eva Cassidy's voice and knew I had to have this CD.. Field's Of Glory is just breathtaking. Rating: - A lovely CD enjoyed by entire family......Her version of Wade in the Water and Over the Rainbow give me the chills. She is an amazing singer and I am so glad that I happened to hear this CD at a bookstore....and took the chance to buy it. It is uplifting, calm, relaxing music. |
