Every time a new cache of tapes is turned into another Eva Cassidy cd I wonder it this will be the last one and this probably will be. Each cd leaves me hungering for more from this hauntingly beautiful voice that left us long before she knew how what a powerful effect her voice would have. We were robbed of her voice in the saddest and most frustrating way when she succumbed to cancer in 1996 at the age of just 33. Her tragic story has passed into cult legend with the posthumously released seven albums. If you haven't heard the pure tone of her voice before I don't think you can go wrong with any of her albums. This one, filled with some surprises, is no exception. My favorite is Cyndi Lauper's "True Colors" but she also gives very pleasing renditions of Joe Simon's early 1970s soul hit "Drowning in the Sea of Love" Ray Charles's "Hallelujah I Love Him So" and The Beatles "Yesterday". In 2003 Entertainment Weekly stated, "With a honeyed voice and not a drop of guile, Cassidy crafted singularly familiar songs....her gifts carry on..." I couldn't agree more!

Anyone who has not heard her voice is definately missing out. I own several of her CD's. Her music is eclectic. Anywhere from blues to jazz, gospel to country and the classics. Unfortunately, I didn't get to experience her abilities while she was on this earth. Anyone interested should definitely listen to her music and seek out her story. There are several web-sites dedicated to her and her music. I could never say a bad thing about making the choice to purchase her music. In fact I think I would be making a mistake if I didn't.
Great CD full of excellent selections sung by a songbird who left us way too early.
