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. Blix label.

HAUNTINGLY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-07-16

She will be a favorite for life. I own every one of her CD's. My 2 favorites on this CD are "Songbird" and "Time is a healer"- It stops me dead in my tracks and touches everything deep and pulls it out. I must admit, It's a crying CD- But in such a way that your insides are purified and cleansed by this Hauntingly beautiful voice of an angel. I always feel better after listening. God took her early because he must have needed an agels voice for his choir and if you don't believe in God, just listen to her voice and you will.

A pure delight.......2007-07-10

Quiet and unassuming, and taken from us much too soon, Eva Cassidy's postumous collection of material takes standards, gospel, country, blue eyed soul, and pop, creating arrangements even the songwriters never thought of. Record producers had difficulty pigeon-holing her since she sang whatever moved her, thus a recording contract was not forthcoming (though she did produce a couple independent CD's and thankfully has numerous studio recordings).

Before dying of cancer in 1996 at the age of 33, she left behind a plethora of recordings, enabling her family and friends to release "new material" every so often. Relegated to obscurity outside of the Washington DC area that she jammed in, she was "discovered" five years later by an English radio station DJ who was mesmerized by her very beautiful take on Judy Garland's classic "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." Whereas most artists try to belt out the song in varied octaves (thanks to American Idol), Eva's version is quiet and melancholy, and stands the test of time.

Though Cassidy has numeorus CD's of material, Songbird will always be my favorite for its timeless collection of such varied material. Stand out tracks include "I Know You by Heart," "Songbird," the exquisite "Over the Rainbow," a gorgeous and lush rendition of Sting's "Fields of Gold" (which is much better than his), and my personal favorite, "Autumn Leaves" an old standard that somehow seems fresh.

Cassidy had a way of evoking so much emotion in her simple songs and soulful arrangements and would have been a joy to see live. Sadly we all miss out.

BEAUTIFUL voice!!.......2007-07-06

I first heard Eva Cassidy singing Songbird on "Love Actually soundtrack" and HAD TO find more of her music!! I think Eva Cassidy may have the most beautiful/most pure voice I've ever heard!! From what I've read about her, I know that she was a beautiful person "inside" as well as "outside" in addition to having such a lovely voice. I'm sorry that "our world" lost her so soon - - she's singing among the Angels now! On this CD - - so very special to me - - are -- Songbird; Time Is A Healer; I Know You By Heart; Fields of Gold; & Autumn Leaves! I luv this CD and think you will too! I purchased 6 of Eva Cassidy's CDs & am very pleased with all of them and enjoy listening to her beautiful voice on an almost daily basis!

Soulful.......2007-07-01

If ever there were a more soulful female vocalist, I can't imagine who it might be. There is not a phony note on the whole album.

When Eva Cassidy is swinging her way through "Cheek to Cheek" and getting down and bluesy on "Stormy Monday" on this live set from 1996, it's nigh impossible not to get swept up in her voice's vast, barreling force. Her full range, though, becomes most obvious--and soul-shaking--on the slower side, as with Paul Simon's "Bridge over Troubled Water," Buffy Sainte-Marie's "Tall Trees in Georgia," and "What a Wonderful World." On these latter tunes, Cassidy's mix of aching clarity and rich warmth has a melting quality, speaking through the body to some evanescent presence that she seems to know all too well. She improbably makes Sting's "Fields of Gold" an emotional powerhouse just as easily as she makes Billie Holiday's "Fine and Mellow" an offhand declaration of feeling equal to nearly anything in the jazz vocal canon. In doing so she earns her place among the great singers--artists who could take any song and stamp it indelibly as their own. What Eva Cassidy had in her short life was an unbelievably perfect voice and a musical soul that grasped gospel, folk, blues, jazz, and all points in between as if they were mere stops on a single train ride. Alas, her ride ended in 1996, tragically early. --Andrew Bartlett

Album Description

Recorded live at Blues Alley, Washington, D.C., Jan. 2, 1996, where the late folk singer/songwriter had a loyal following. 13 tracks, including four that appeared on her breakthrough 1998 album, 'Songbird'. Blix Street.

Customer Reviews:

Great performance, great recording.......2007-07-03

I thoroughly enjoyed this and am happy I purchased it. Every bit of it is exceptional, the performance, the venue, and the recording. Definitely a great CD for any collection.

ahead of her time.......2007-05-12

Wonderful music, we have everyone of her CD's. So sad that she isn't still around to make more wonderful music!

Her definitive album.......2007-04-19

As I pulled into work one morning back in '98, I heard a song from this album on a public radio out of DC. Fortunately, reception was clean and clear that morning, and I listened in astonishment to the singer's remarkable interpretation of a song I had heard before (and, quite frankly, didn't really like). I had trouble finding the CD anywhere in Baltimore (there had been only a limited release on a small label), but when I eventually did find it, the whole was as remarkable as the one song.

From start to finish, this is an extraordinary album, showcasing the remarkable breadth of a talent too soon lost. To me, "Live at Blues Alley" is Eva's definitive album, and it ranks in my top ten albums of my fairly extensive collection. Listen to this album.

Great vocalist.......2007-03-20

This album is one of my favorites, the music ranges from joyful to thoughtful to hauntingly beautiful.

One of the best female voices I have ever heard........2007-03-08

This is the second time I have purchased this CD. I bought one for a friend because I have fallen in love with Eva's voice. There are so many qualities in those pipes. She can put her own spin on every song she has redone and made it unique. I really don't have words to describe her. What a loss it is for her family and her fans because she was just beginning to be discovered. She never compromised her art for anyone. She had a pure voice and pure soul and it came thru in her music.

Minus all the machinery that the music industry can put behind an artist, Eva Cassidy sang bewitchingly in Washington, D.C. and then died without fanfare in 1996, when she was a mere 33 years old. And then the world began hearing Cassidy, thanks largely to Songbird, a posthumous collection of locally released album tracks that went on to garner media attention, critical praise, and commercial success. This collection gathers both live and studio cuts delivered within warm, mostly acoustic settings; often it is simply Cassidy, her voice, and her guitar. Inside are some of Cassidy's best-executed covers, beginning with Paul Simon's "Kathy's Song" and ending with a stellar rendition of the traditional gospel "Way Beyond the Blue." In between are heart-wringing versions of Bill Withers's "Ain't No Sunshine" and Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time." What distinguishes Cassidy so completely is her offhand ability to transform songs beyond their initial character with a voice that brilliantly mixes an airy floating quality and an edge that you know can pop open to reveal a belt-it-out strength to rival the best in the singer's trade. --Andrew Bartlett

Album Description

The 2000 release Time After Time is a collection of 12 previously unreleased Eva Cassidy performances, primarily studio recordings, Time After Time also includes four live tracks. This album continues the tradition set by previous Eva Cassidy releases, a mix of traditional favorites such as 'I Wandered by a Brookside' and more contemporary songs like the title track, a remake of the 1984 Cyndi Lauper hit. Blix label.

What EvaCassidy does to a song is magical. It's sad that she died at such age.

A Gifted Artist.......2007-06-28

She simply has a beautiful voice that is so uncomplicated and real. A true artist who expressed her emotions and soul through her music. I was moved to tears when I first heard her music, what a gift.

Eva is a Diva!.......2007-05-09

I can only describe Eva Cassidy's voice as soulful. You can feel the music flow through you. It's a shame that she is gone, but wonderful that she is appreciated by many.

Not totally satisfied.......2007-04-14

I have to be honest and say that I was a little disappointed with this CD. I was so spoiled by her other CD's that I was expecting the same here. Mind you, there are a few tracks that I really liked but I have to admit, I was really thinking of sending it back. But I won't because I'm hoping it'll grow on me.
Believe me, I wish I could've given this 5 stars.

For anyone who suspects that record companies will soon be releasing Eva Cassidy's voice mail messages, it's extraordinarily pleasing to note that Imagine is more than just a bottom-of-the-barrel-scraping exercise. All of these tracks are previously unreleased and most are live recordings, but listeners who already own Live at Blues Alley know just how refreshing Cassidy's live performances were. Check out her take on Sandy Denny's "Who Knows Where the Time Goes?" to feel a shiver of delight at another effortlessly ideal cover, or listen to her laid-back "You've Changed" from the Blues Alley sessions to experience more of her soulful jazz. Elsewhere, the solo acoustic reading of Gordon Lightfoot's "Early Morning Rain" shows off her guitar skills, and if "Imagine" doesn't ever scale the heights of Songbird's "Over the Rainbow" it still demonstrates how she always had something new and uniquely compelling to say when performing a familiar standard. Studio recordings "Still Not Ready" and "I Can Only Be Me" are, oddly perhaps, the least successful cuts. Happily, the album concludes with another lovely solo standard, "Danny Boy." The recording quality varies noticeably from track to track, and there are a few awkward fade-outs--presumably to remove audience noise--but still the sparkling music comes across quite vividly. Imagine may not be the best way to discover Eva Cassidy for the first time, but established fans will warmly welcome this new collection. --Mark Walker

Album Description

'Imagine' (featuring all previously unreleased tracks) is the first Eva Cassidy album released since 'Songbird's worldwide success. 'Songbird' is certified Gold in the U.S., was No.1 on both Billboard's Catalog Album Chart & Internet Chart in 2001, & was a No. 1 pop album & certified triple platinum in the U.K. In addition to Eva's starkly moving tribute to John Lennon's 'Imagine', Eva Cassidy re-interprets 'It Doesn't Matter Anymore' - distinctly different from the Buddy Holly & Linda Ronstadt versions. Ryko. 2002.

Still in the top.......2007-07-07

All seven CD`s I bought with Lady Eva Cassidy is a tast of heven. Fantastic entertainer, world class. I am sorry not to be able to have the experience to see her live on stage.

Majestic.......2006-06-26

Ms. Cassidy's death at such a young age left a large gap in American Music. Gifted with a pure, clear voice (which she could dirty up when the song called for it), perfect intonation, and a feel for lyrics, she was a singer's singer. She rarely fails to disappoint. On this album, check out her version of Danny Boy. Danny Boy is one of the most beautiful ballads in the Western canon. Of course, Danny Boy has been sung umpteen times, some excellent, some not so excellent, but I think Ms. Cassidy's version is one of the most touching I have ever heard. She stays very close to the melody, her guitar playing is simple yet effective, and her tone is suitably plaintive and mournful. If you don't have a tear in your eye at the end of the song, Irish or not, you must have a heart of stone.

Parenthetically, another Washington, D.C. resident, with whom Ms. Cassidy recorded on occasion, suffered an untimely death, by his own hand. Danny Gatton, Wizard of the Telecaster, committed suicide in 1994. The two of them had much in common. Both were perfectionists, and more important, both were eclectic in their musical tastes, refusing to be pigeonholed in one genre. Jazz, bluegrass, soul, country, it was grist to both of their mills; maybe that is why they worked with each other. Two geniuses of the D.C. area who died too young, with so much more music to give to the world. Pity.

Imagine What Could Have Been.......2005-10-14

My second foray into the remarkable world of Eva Cassidy was as good as my first, "Live at Blues Alley." This young lady had an incredible vocal talent, both in terms of ability and interpretation. Where a woman this young obtained all the vocal talent contained in this CD is a mystery only God can answer, but at least we get to hear her legacy.

"Guess It Doesn't Matter Any More" is played as folk, a variation from Cassidy's usual style. Worry not, this acoustic song is nicely performed, and the guitar could have been eliminated because Cassidy's voice is beautiful. The next song is even better as Cassidy belts out the pure high notes in "Fever." Cassidy brings sensuality to this song that harkens back to an era even earlier than that of 1956, when the song was written. Cassidy sings high notes that threaten to pass into the realm of the unheard for my aging ears. As with the previous song, the violin could easily have been eliminated to allow the percussion and bass to carry the song.

In the song "Who Knows Where Time Goes" I hear elements that remind me a lot of Diana Krall. A fan of Diana walked by as I was listening to this song and asked me if it was Diana singing. How to explain that the emotional and powerful voice coming over the speakers was from someone who had sold more than four million albums after she had died from melanoma in 1996? I said it was Eva Cassidy and he should try some of her albums, because she was a great, unrecognized talent.

Speaking of great, Cassidy next takes on a song made famous by the great Billie Holiday, "You've Changed." Cassidy reminds listeners what sultry means as her voice caresses the words of this song in a way that makes me wish I could have heard her in person. What a talent this lady had. I think Billie Holiday would have given her the thumbs up for this song.

I am amazed at the range of songs that Cassidy interprets. John Lennon's signature song "Imagine" is interpreted in Cassidy's unique way. This song is more than another remake, it is a true vocal interpretation that requires a listener to consider what might have been had Cassidy's career continued to progress. This is a remarkable song interpreted by a remarkable singer.

I enjoy the music on the song "Still Not Ready" almost as much as I enjoy Eva Cassidy's singing. The music and the vocals join seamlessly, and the wonderful bridge at nearly three minutes into the song blends progressive elements into this bluesy song. This song was deserving of a Grammy nomination had it been better known at the time it was originally recorded. Music fans who appreciate a wide range of genres will enjoy this song.

There is a certain challenge in listening to a wide array of music on one CD. Gordon Lightfoot's "Early Morning Rain" has country overtones. Accompanied only by her guitar, which she handles adroitly, Eva sings this song as though she was truly "a long way from home" "missing her loved ones." Though this song is a bit less vocally than some of her other songs, it is difficult to avoid being impressed by the purity of her notes. Fans of Gordon Lightfoot should be impressed with this interpretation of his song. How great would a duet between Gordon Lightfoot and Eva Cassidy have been?

Remaining in a similar vein is the short song "Tennessee Waltz," made famous by Patti Page. Once again, Eva's vocals bring a new interpretation to the song, but I am less enthused about this song and the previous song than other songs on this CD.

I am surprised that reviewer Mark Walker (the Amazon selected "professional" reviewer) considers "I Can Only Be Me" one of the less successful tracks on this CD. While this song is a bit short of songs that exceed the standard for greatness, such as "Who Knows Where the Time Goes," I still get chills listening to Eva sing "But how many times have you wished to be in spaces, times, places, than what you were." I believe Stevie Wonder would consider this interpretation to be very good at a minimum.

This CD closes with another standard. Eva manages to bring a tear to my eye with "Danny Boy," which is already a sad song. I assume that the guitar accompaniment is Eva's which is sufficiently minimal to keep the focus on Eva's incredible voice. This song is yet another that has the potential to give you chills in the right mood.

Much of the music on this CD was originally performed live. However, it is difficult to tell the origins of the music as audience noise was edited from the tracks. There may be places where the music and singing fades that can be attributed to the editing. However, this music begs to be played as loudly as possible, assuming that the glass in your house can handle the frequencies Eva sings without damage. I often forget that the original purpose of singing was to hear the emotional content of the words, and here Eva reminds us all abundantly that music is more than hype and packaging, it is a singer, and her words, and her emotions, and just enough music to glue it together.

You Can't Imagine.......2005-08-09

I love music - have been playing all my life and have a collection of CDs that number in the thousands. I listen to everything from Patti Austin to Frank Zappa. Eva Cassidy is on a very short list of absolute favorites. Eva's voice simply has to be heard. Eva blends the sweet sincerity of a folk singer with the power and bluesy feel of an R & B or Jazz singer. The songs on Imagine are a collection that showcases her folksier side. Just beautiful! If you don't have any Eva, you should. Once you do, you'll want everything.

Imagine any voice being as lovely.......2005-07-31

I had heard of Eva Cassidy like most, with the tragedy of a young life full of talent snubbed out so early. I bought "Songbird" and enjoyed it. Many months later (last week), a co-worker gave me "Imagine" and said it was too 'durge-like' for her tastes. Having Eva's "Songbird", I was excited about hearing another of her albums. Like most, I never acted on my good intentions of buying other albums, my loss. I listened to "Imagine" with my earphones at work, and literally was brought to tears. I have never heard a more beautiful rendition of "Danny Boy". I also loved, "Who Knows Where the Time Goes", "I Can Only be Me", "You've Changed", and "Tennesee Waltz". Most reviews rave on John Lennon's "Imagine", the title cut, but although it was good, the others mentioned were my favorites. If only "Danny Boy" was on the CD, it would have been worth the price of the whole CD. Now, I want to buy the Nightline t.v. broadcast about Eva, as I really want to see moving pictures of her. What a legacy she has left us. I thanked by co-worker, saying I'm glad our tastes are so different, as otherwise I would not have experienced this album (at least not so soon), and come to love it as I have. I hope Eva's family knows how much they have given the world with Eva's beautiful Life. Lord, be precious to your Soul, Eva Cassidy.

From Beale Street to Oblivion lacks the fire and passion heard on 2005's excessively excellent Robot Hive/Exodus. It's not that the Maryland-based band has betrayed the sound that made it famous or that it has suddenly become incapable of writing a memorable riff of having a go at a good ol' rock 'n' blues stomp. Rather, it's that not much of anything awe-inspiring happens in the course of these 12 tunes. Listeners have to wait until the record's third track ("The Devil & Me") before the rockin' really sticks and from that point forward wade through several successive almost-great moments, feeling the stinging darts of disappointment as the album moves toward the dark and narrow sidewalks of Beale Street's end. Some of the tracks--namely "Electric Worry" and "Rapture of Riddley Walker" are impossibly pleasing but taken as a whole, this serves as a bummer set from one of the most promising and consistently imaginative acts. Certainly not a bad record for most bands but one that falls below the high expectations held for Clutch. --Jedd Beaudoin

Masters of Originality.......2007-07-30

I am a long-standing Clutch fan. Every song they've ever put out impresses me in its own way. This album is simply the latest and greatest. It's not the heaviest music they've put out, if that's what you're looking for, but it's certainly the smartest and most progressive. These guys are definitely growing up.

Clutch got the Blues...!.......2007-07-04

Yep, this is one of those rare, good, rock n' roll blues albums. Clutch have seamlessly combined their own unique 'rawk' sound with the sounds of old.... the blues. Damn, this album's actually made me get into the blues and look at it in a whole new light. This is a great album... different to their previous efforts, but great none the less. And you can't go wrong with an unique voice like Neil Fallon's. This is the type of album that spits in the face of those sucky emo bands that are all over the place now... This is the real deal. Nice bluesy rhythms (drums and bass), good slide guitar every now and then... and ofcourse the harmonica. All fit in very nicely. Without exaggeration, almost all the track are brilliant... been listening to the album since it came out and it stills sounds great. Stand out tracks - Black Umbrella (the bluesiest of the lot), The Devil and me, Electric worry, Power Player, When Vegans attack, Shiny Mr Cadillackness.... good stuff.

12 years after 'Tight Like That' and Clutch is better than ever.......2007-06-30

When I was 14 I loved the Clutch CD that my friends dad gave us to listen to. It was the coolest, funkiest music I had ever heard. Now I am almost 26 and this album makes me feel the same way. Clutch just gets better with age. This album will make you dance. I just seen them perform live at Bonnaroo, second time this year. And they blew the roof off!! This album is heavily blues influenced and it just rocks!!! I can't keep it out of my car CD player, even though I drive alot faster when I listen to it.

A disappointment.......2007-06-25

In the past Clutch has always stayed just far enough away from southern rock to not be lumped in with those bands. On this album they cross too far into that category and it becomes their most predictable sounding and bland album to date.

If you are a first time listener to Clutch, skip this album and buy the self titled album 'Clutch', Elephant Riders, or Blast Tyrant. All three are far better than this.

They never stop amazing me!!!!!.......2007-06-17

I am sick and tired of over produced, political or emotional motivated music people try to identify as good rock music. Clutch's new release is a breath of fresh air for us who are sick of this new age music that sounds all the same. Clutch's simpley produced, riff oriented and powerful vocals leaves us with a raw and heavy rock and roll album. The touch of blues and southern rock makes this band one of the truly best around for true rock and roll fans. Clutch just keep improving and are getting better and better. This is a must have!!!

Amazon.com

Songs from the Street, the boxed set that stretches back to "Sesame Street's" 1969 debut, is the kids' record of the year, if not the decade: Big Bird and the gang might've pulled it off themselves--for a crew of fix-it store workers, shopkeeps, and goofball monsters, the talent quotient's off the charts--but when you've got this many names to drop, they've got to land somewhere. What impresses most in three discs is the lack of a single thud. Cab Calloway, Pete Seeger, and James Taylor mosey in on disc one; Johnny Cash, BB King, and Tony Bennett take seats on the stoop for disc two; and the Dixie Chicks, Gloria Estefan, and R.E.M. raise the brownstone roof on disc three--and that's leaving out stars like Lena Horne, Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel, and Trisha Yearwood. When it comes to inspiring preschoolers and their parents to sing the praises of rubber duckies, bein' green, and the people in their neighborhood; "The Street" gets busy. --Tammy La Gorce

Great cd set.......2007-07-30

This set of 3 CD's had a great mix of classic and contempary Sesame Street songs.

I'd rather just the first 10 years, thanks.......2007-05-26

About half the songs are the original television versions. But the liner notes for the other half list them as being "from" other COMPILATIONS released in the 1990s.
Nowhere is it stated whether those compilations used the original versions or re-recordings, so who knows? Even the TITLE theme is not the original (It might be the version they use nowadays, but it's not the version most people know from the 70s).
Sesame should have just used the original TV versions of all tracks as that's what collectors of vintage material would be looking for (and paying quite a lot for).
They also should have focused more on the early years when the show was the most innovative. And as music was a major element, I'm sure there's a lot more material that could have been used, particularly those odd demonstrational songs about the number 5 or the letter R. Instead they've focused on the celebrity guests, most of whom don't really add much value.
I personally hoped there'd be that funky counting to ten song that featured on almost every episode (not the Pinball one, which I love too).
Disappointing, but until a better option comes along, this will have to do.

A great buy, you'll play this over and over........2007-03-15

I bought this when my daughter was born, and two years later she still asks for them to be played. The set contains three CDs, on which are collected famous songs, and ditties from the Sesame Street show...favorites like C is for Cookie, Healthy, Happy Monsters performed by famous groups like REM and more. The songs are not just kid friendly, adults will enjoy the refreshing take on some old favorites too:)

An All-Round Pleaser.......2007-02-15

I have always loved the music from Sesame Street, and as I have gotten older I have found that the next generation loves it just as much as I have, whether it be the older or newer songs. Since I bought this album, I have had it regularly playing at my sons' request. Funnily enough, anyone who walks in to our house smiles when they hear the music, ask what the album is, then sit back and enjoy it all - regardless of whether they have ever watched Sesame Street or not. Furry and real voices have universal appeal whatever the age of the listener! A beautiful album.

Childhood Renewed.......2007-01-09

If you grew up on Sesame Street - or just want some music for kids that isn't annoying - this is the box set for you! The songs are clever, amusing, lively, and educational. We bought it for ourselves as a trip down memory lane before our son was born - and since then it has been our favorite baby shower or first birthday gift! Everyone who has it loves it!

Like a stateside Sandy Denny, Eva Cassidy's voice managed to be ethereal yet soulful, haunting yet warm, and evocative enough to make you believe--at least during those moments when you're listening to it--that she's the best singer you've ever heard. The purity of the late Washington D.C. singer's voice, set against tasteful strings and her own angelic backing vocals, shines on the opening "I Know You by Heart," catches fire on "Wade in the Water," and never fades throughout this 1997 studio album. And while Cassidy's gorgeous vocals may be best served by quietly reflective tracks such as "Nightbird" and "Waly Waly," it's still fun to hear her attack "Time Is a Healer" with a melismatic fervor that could kick Whitney and Mariah's asses. If you're new to Cassidy, either this CD or the Songbird compilation would make a fine introduction to a great American artist. --Bill Forman

1997 album for the late folk singer/songwriter. 11 tracks including her classic cover of Christine McVie's 'Songbird'. Blix Street.

Eva is pure pleasure!.......2007-05-12

Eva Cassidy is one of the most gifted and versatile voices I have ever heard. She has more moods than the weather. Her voice is by turns, blissfully light and tender, salty, jazzy, but always pure and true. I love this singer, and I have a huge collection of female singers. She is among the best. What a terrible loss that she is no longer with us.
Stella Reinwald

Songbird - Eva by Heart Albums.......2007-05-07

Eva Cassidy has a voice like a bell. Her music is presented with instruments that do not overpower her voice and the final product is one of perfect balance.
Everyone I have introduced to Ms. Cassidy is totally captured by her albums.

Eva by Heart.......2006-11-10

This is a great CD. She was a very talented artist.

Great!!!!.......2006-07-22

I love all of Eva Cassidy's CDs. She is my favorite music artist. "Songbird" is a great CD too! Buy every single one of her CDs, it's worth it.

UPLIFTING.......2006-01-21

This CD is definitely an uplifting arrangement of her musical renditions of some beautiful favorites! "Waly Waly", "I Know You By Heart", and "Blues In The Night" are beautifully sung by this amazing artist! She belts out Blues like you have never heard it before. You can hear not just a voice, but also her emotion all through her music. This is a phenomenal compilation of pop, soul, R&B, jazz, blues, gospel as well as folk music. Even though this talented and remarkable artist and musician is no longer with us, she is still very much alive in our hearts through her music!

Eva Cassidy fans surely feel something akin to relief when another cache of tapes is opened for release. The singer's 1996 death at the age of 33, after all, rendered her output finite in the saddest and most frustrating way. American Tune's modus operandi is similar to previous Cassidy CDs in its mix of standard repertoire (here, everything from "Yesterday" to "God Bless the Child" and Ray Charles's "Hallelujah I Love [Him] So" rubs shoulders) and fine, less obvious choices (Joe Simon's early-'70s soul hit "Drowning in the Sea of Love"). The sometimes pedestrian backing does little to spoil the pleasure of Cassidy's pure tone and the surprises she's able to wring from the material--on the Charles tune, she even suggests a distaff Lyle Lovett. She'd no doubt be pleased to know that tracks uncovered at this point now sound like, well, notes from a missed, much-loved friend. --Rickey Wright

Album Description

2003 album featuring Eva's unique interpretations of ten classic songs. From her timeless reading of 'American Tune' (Paul Simon's reflections on an ever-changing America) to 'Drowning In The Sea Of Love' (a searing blues-rock take on the Joe Simon 70s hit written and produced by Gamble & Huff), this collection is filled with thrills and surprises. Blix Street.

American Tune.......2007-07-03

I enjoyed the CD as I do all of Eva's music. Will definately order more.

Better and better!.......2007-06-12

How can someone who has sadly departed keep getting better?! Eva Cassidy is one of those "lost voices" whose recognition came too late. What a shame... she had a BRILLIANT career ahead of her, and this album is as good as I had expected. No disappointments here for Eva Cassidy fans!

I Wish She Were Still Here.......2007-05-13

Another great album by a great singer taken from us way too soon. A voice suited for different genres, but especially at home in jazz or the blues. This is the fourth album I have purchased of Eva's and I have enjoyed each and everyone. Such a beautiful voice. A must have for Eva Cassidy fans.

Just a terrific CD.......2007-04-06

I have just about worn out this CD in the first 2 weeks after receiving it..She does a great job on all the cuts but I just love The Water is Wide and You Take My Breath Away..2 songs I had never heard before this CD. What a shame we won't be getting more from her.

A beautiful voice.......2007-01-11

I first heard Eva Cassidy when a local shopowner played one of her CD. I went to the website and discovered that Eva passed away some time back. I bought 2 CDs and have been happily listening ever since. Her voice is sometimes reminiscent of Bonnie Raitt, especially when she sings blues. However, Eva has a soft lyrical quality in her voice, also, which is lovely.

Amazon.com essential recording

Happy is the composer who has an advocate as passionate and talented as Leonard Bernstein. These Copland performances have been the preferred versions since they were first issued--better even than the composer's own, later recordings. Originally they were spread over two discs, but thanks to the extended playing time of the compact disc, you can now get all three great Copland ballets together, along with the ever popular Fanfare for the Common Man. Bernstein brings to this music the right sharpness of rhythm but also a typically open-hearted warmth. He coaxes a virtuoso response from the New York Philharmonic, which knows this music as well (or better) than anyone. Self- recommending. --David Hurwitz

Customer Reviews:

What more could one ask for?.......2007-06-27

Aaron Copland's masterful works are here interpreted by Bernstein. Nothing says the American sound like Copland, and there is no better interpreter than Bernstein. This recording is one of the best in my collection. I would recommend this to anyone (even non-classical music fans).

Definitive Is Right.......2007-02-27

I have the SACD version of these recordings (except for the "Fanfare" which, in this case, is the version taken from Bernstein's recording of Copland's Third Symphony) and I must agree with others here that the performances are definitive. The "Rodeo" has more energy than any other recording I know of, in fact it can almost go over the top! "Billy the Kid" is quiet and tender, dramatic and bold and "Appalachian Spring" is dead-on. The last section of this ballet is one of my very favorite pieces of music and Bernstein's tempo and phrasing here could well be called perfect.

Definitive Recordings of Copland's Popular Ballet Scores From Bernstein, NYPO.......2007-02-11

Without question, this splendid CD is my favorite recording of some of Aaron Copland's most popular orchestral ballet scores. In Leonard Bernstein he had both a good friend and a devout ally, who successfully championed Copland's music, helping to ensure his reputation as one of the greatest - if not the greatest - 20th Century American composer. Sony has done a superb job in digitally remastering this recording, offering some of the best sound I've heard from a vintage Leonard Bernstein/New York Philharmonic recording. But more importantly than the recording's superb sonic quality is the quality of these performances of Copland's scores. Bernstein leads in New York Philharmonic in these virtuoso performances, replete with lush, vibrant playing from the winds, horns and strings. His warm, truly heart-felt interpretation of "Applachian Spring" is truly mesmerizing, and the best I have heard from a recording. And yet, I am am just as impressed with his conducting of both "Rodeo" and "Billy the Kid"; the latter replete with superb solos from the orchestra's timpanist. An elegant performance of "Fanfare for the Common Man" closes out this CD recording. Fans of Aaron Copland, Leonard Bernstein, and the New York Philharmonic Orchestra shouldn't hesitate in acquiring this superb CD.

American Music at its Highest .......2007-02-04

If I was forced to recommend one CD of American music, I would feel very safe in backing this one. These interpretations have yet to be surpassed, and not even Copland himself could muster the same type of perfection that Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic did in this recording. Bernstein's way with Rodeo is unbelievable, and this alone is worth the price of the disc. The music on this recording has a lot to do with why, as Americans, we can all be proud of our place in the history of western music.

With 39 reviews under me, I will dispense with the adjectives to try and describe each interpretation of each piece on this disc, and simply say that these performances have been recommended by almost everyone (professional critics included of course) since they appeared; get it and find out why.

The best of Copland.......2007-01-09

For the Aaron Copland fan, this CD has the essentials: the most popular and easy listening of the Copland body of creations. Enjoy!

This is one of those albums where you'll want to cherry-pick favorites. Recorded live when the supergroup was at its commercial zenith, it's sloppy in spots where precision is called for. And the hyperbolic counterculture rants sound a bit silly these days (Bellows Stills: "Jesus Christ was the first nonviolent revolutionary! Ah, dig it, dig it!"). On the other hand, the electric jams are enlivened by some charged guitar skirmishes between Stills and Young. Those who owned the original 2-record set will be pleased by the additional Graham Nash song ("King Midas in Reverse") and Young's acoustic "The Loner"/"Cinnamon Girl"/"Down by the River" medley. --Steven Stolder

Music & Lyrics with a Message........2007-06-01

This eclectic group of misicians formed a band CSN&Y, and told the story's of America growing up in the 60's and 70'. It was a difficult time for this country. But David Crosby, Graham Nash, Stephen Stills, and Neil Young wrote about love & hate, the Vietnam War, the killings at Kent St., political corruption, the blight of the black community, etc. They wrote about their lives & experiences. They wrote about what mattered most. To this day, "4 Way Street" is my favorite piece of music. They wrote the songs that our children, and grand children will listen to, and ask, "What did that mean daddy? What happened at Kent State mommy? Why did we hate black people? Who was this man named Martin? This collection of song & stories is a must.

Good live album, but help me please with one question ...........2007-05-11

Did this 30-second version of "Suite Judy Blue Eyes" appear on the original vinly LP version back in 1971? Or is it just like that on this CD version?
Thanks.

Strong, raw performances.......2007-04-03

This album was a big hit in the US when it was released in 1971, climbing all the way to number 1 on the Billboard album chart. The performances are raw but effective. I especially like the last part of the album, when they go "electric." Their extended, blistering performance of "Carry On" is alone worth the price of the album!

I Bought 4 Way Street 3-Times!.......2007-03-09

I bought 4 Way Street as an album when it was originally released. I bought it again when it was released as a CD. Then when my daughter became a teenager she "borrowed" it from me and it is now living with her in her apartment. I could not live without it so I have once again purchased 4 Way Street. Why...? Because of the haunting beauty of Find The Cost Of Freedom, the exhilaration of Love The One Your With, the melancholy of Cowgirl In The Sand and the hope of Carry On. Almost every song is a gem and to hear these four artists together is an opportunity not to be missed.
