Music reviews of Songbird
Music Review: Simply Divine
Rating: 5 Stars
I discovered this song goddess on Pandora listening to "Fields of Gold"
Her album is an album I hope spans many generations. This is an album my parents would absolutely love.
In my eyes, she is a legend to me. Do you ever listen to a singer and think, "This person could never sing a bad note. It's not possible."
Her voice is so illuminating and healing that I cannot get enough of this CD. Right after I received it I ended up getting her "Live at Blues Alley" album. Simply brilliant.
She is the kind of singer that can do a cover and make it her own. I usually hear a cover song and say, "The original is better." With Eva you wished she had been the original singer.
Her voice takes you on a journey within your heart and soul. Not enough people know about her. Buy two CD's. One for you and give it to someone else. Or put yours on your MP3 and give this one away.
It's so unfortunate that her life was short lived. Rest in Peace Eva. May your music reach millions and millions for all to hear.
Description of Songbird
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.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
