Time after Time and Songbird
I was introduced to Eva Cassidy's music about 5/6 years ago. As I have read in all the reviews, she has the most amazing voice ever. I tell that to people all the time. She is my alltime favorite and I listen to every kind of music. I so miss the part of never being able to see her live, in concert. What a JOY that would have been. I love all the songs on these two CDS, but my favorites are: Over the Rainbow, Fields of Gold, etc... I am probobly going to purchase the remaining CDs. I just purchased the book, "Songbird." I can't wait to read all about her life.
To family and friends of Eva Cassidy, my heart goes out to you. A beautiful woman and a beautiful voice. I hope the world gets to experience her. I get emotional every time I listen to her and sometimes just thinking about her. She lives on through all of us who know that she has the best voice, ever. Amazing,soulfull,she'll give you wonderful chills.

An extraordinary talent
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Eva Cassidy was a minor celebrity on the Maryland-D.C. club circuit, with a small but devoted coterie of fans. Unlike bigger stars with smaller talents, Eva did not aggressively seek the limelight, but was content to sing whatever she liked, a trait that made her difficult to pigeonhole for the corporate packagers of pop. She seemed to be on the verge of stardom when she died, far too young, of metastatic melanoma in 1996 at age 33. She left behind a relatively small body of work cobbled together from studio and club recordings. But her popularity, against all odds, has continued to grow since her untimely death, and more than a decade later, Eva Cassidy is still winning fans. Her voice possessed extraordinary versatility and effortless grace: Alternately powerful and intimate, equally at home with folk, blues, jazz, soul, or show tunes. From track to track, her voice may be reminiscent of Sandy Denny, Joni Mitchell, Linda Ronstadt, or even Aretha Franklin. She shares with Allison Krause an almost painful vocal beauty, simplicity, purity and lack of adornment or showiness. The instrumental accompaniments on these mostly studio tracks are almost perfectly suited to her voice in their simplicity.

Very Sweet
I have always listened attentively whenever a selection by this very talented musican came over the radio; however, it wasn't until I heard Cassidy's redition of Paul Simon's "Kathy's Song" on a folk music station that I finally bought a the CD that included that song. Cassidy's interpretation of a wide range of genres on this CD---from Irish folk ballad to pop to blues---is truly phenomenal and her delivery of all of them is as smooth as silk. That cancer took her young life is truly tragic, but her memory and angelic voice lives on in these beautiful songs.

Relax and enjoy.
Wonderful renditions of so many familiar songs. Eva gives them each her special treatment. She has left us but we have the gift of her voice to enjoy. I wish that I had seen her perform. This is a great CD to listen to undisturbed or to have as background music as you relax with friends.

GREAT MUSIC
I saw a review of this album on CBS Sunday Morning and bought it the naxt week. My wife and I love her voice.
