Simply beautiful November 9, 2007

Eva Cassidy is simply amazing. She brings a clear, warm, and powerful voice to familiar songs - songs that we become jaded to by listening to them so often - like "Over the Rainbow". You quickly become 'unjaded' when listening to Eva's rendition of this classic. The only reason she wasn't 'discovered' by the media companies is because she refused to compromise her musical values. This album is beautiful and a pleasure to listen to.

I love her music and sound. She has a very folksy yet contemporary sound and I first heard her when I was recently in Ireland. Very easy listening!

What an incredible voice. It is such a loss for the world that Eva succumbed to cancer at such a young age. Her vocal prowess would have lasted into the next 3 decades. I am very impressed with her interpretation of standards and soulful styling of her own gospel inspired tunes.
An awesome chanteuse October 1, 2007
Man, where was I when this woman was singing in lounges? Oh, yah, I was listening to Seattle's Willow. Both woman are jazz singers of unusual virtuosity. If you like this albmus as much as I did, then oyu will love her "live" album.
Most beautiful rendition I've ever heard September 20, 2007

I first heard Eva's version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" on a You Tube tribute to Kelsey Smith-Briggs, a beautiful 2 1/2 year old girl who ultimately died at the hands of her stepfather. The song is so poignant and brought me to tears. It is truly the most beautiful, simple, heart-felt rendition of Somwhere Over the Rainbow I have ever heard. I plan on getting the album.
