It's the one album I bought last week I have not unwrapped. I got the recommendation from some Facebook buddies

Eva Cassidy Singing San Francisco Bay Blues   I think this video will help explain what I find so unusual about Eva Cassidy.  The traditionally brisk paced blues is slowed to a crawl and jazz chords are introduced - a totally original…

This new album "Simply Eva" is, for me, a dream come true.   Eva Cassidy, more than any other artist I have ever heard, makes me want to get close to her voice.  With a presentation of just Eva's voice and her…

Staxnet, thanks for the comment.  Eva's years of performance (the mid 90s) preceed the big internet explosion.  I wonder with sites like No Depression - dedicated to music and being read frequently by those who seek it out - if fans…

Having grown up in the Washington DC area, I have been a long time Eva fan.  One album of hers that I particularly like is The Other Side, which pairs Eva up with Chuck Brown, the godfather of Go-Go (a sub-genre of funk popular in the…

TenLayers your point about connecting with the music is well taken.  In Eva's story she worked on the Buffy St Marie song, Waly Waly, over the objection - no make that strong objection of her producer, Chris Biondo.  The original…

And that's the true worth of music I think, when the music itself becomes something more, something bigger.  The maker of the music has no idea really what's going to happen once it gets put out into the universe...who will connect to…

S Peterkin replied to T Hanssen's discussion 'The resurrection thread'
Resurrection isn't a term I'd apply to music or a musician whose music never feels dead to me.  I am a big fan of the late Eva Cassidy - whose birthday (Feb2) was celebrated with the release of a new album.   That said, this…

Good to learn that your family found comfort in Eva's music.  So much of the time she played for only a handfull of listeners.  It always interests me to learn how far her music has reached.   Thanks for providing a comment…

What a sweet comment. I can imagine how painful it must have been, but in my mind I envision it as a scene in a movie with Eva's music as the soundtrack. I'm sorry for your loss.

My father and mother used to listen to her records when he was dying in hospice. They would lay together and play the cassettes in a boombox he kept by his bed. I used to feel guilty when I would walk in with some water for him, like I was breaking…

Kyla, Thanks so very much for your reply and great question.  Eva did write a song or two but it is her vocals, arrangements and her ability to work in any music genre (well almost any...folk,blues,jazz,country,pop,american popular song) that…

I'd never heard of her prior to seeing her name here. Checked out her websites, both of which are lacking in terms of hearing her music. I checked out the ABC Nightline feature you linked to above which was interesting. Is she a song stylist…

Eva Cassidy - Simply Eva - Review

“Simply Eva” is the best look fans have at Eva Cassidy's past and quite possibly her never-to-be future.  The ninth album on Blix Street Records is an all acoustic "bare bones" look at one of the rarest of musical talents.  Fans heartbroken over never hearing Eva Cassidy in concert will find this is as close as possible to experiencing a live solo song set.  That's the promise behind "Simply Eva," and one that the album satisfies in abundance with the pure musical quality that Eva is known…See More

Big RT fan here.  Seen him in concert many times - always delivering the goods.    As to your tearful question, without doubt my song is "Over The Rainbow" by Eva Cassidy.  There is a new release within the past few…
