Description
|
|
|
|
If there ever was an artist who deserved to be called a "Songbird" (the title song of her bestselling posthumous release), it is Eva Cassidy. Her breathtaking voice and the many places she took it are reflected here in her interpretations of Sting's "Fields of Gold," John Lennon's "Imagine," Curtis Mayfield's "People Get Ready," Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine," Paul Simon's "Kathy's Song," and Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time." Traditional songs like "Danny Boy" and "Wade in the Water" took on new hues when she sang them, as did standards like "Autumn Leaves" and "Over the Rainbow." After her death in 1996 from melanoma at the age of 33, Cassidy gained an international audience (more than 10 million CDs sold worldwide) and well-deserved critical acclaim, with the Wall Street Journal praising her "perfect pitch, impeccable timing and vulnerability" and USA Today marveling at her "emotional ability to reach the depths of any song."
