Imagine (2002)


Rating:★★★
Category:Music
Genre: Blues
Artist:Eva Cassidy

Another album of Eva released in 2002.

n the early 1990s Eva enjoyed singing backup for other artists. The styles ranged from folk to country to jazz to rap to hip-hop. Eva enjoyed the musical challenge of singing in the different styles and also gained valuable recording experience.

"It Doesn't Matter Anymore," was taped at Pearl's Restaurant in Annapolis, probably in 1994.

"Fever" on this album is very different from the duet version on Eva's first album THE OTHER SIDE. Eva's brother Dan Cassidy's fiddle is featured in this recording.

"Who Knows Where the Time Goes?" was taped at the Maryland Inn.

"Danny Boy" you have heard it a million times, but this is Eva's version.

Imagine
.01. It Doesn't Matter Anymore
.02. Fever
.03. Who Knows Where The Time Goes
.04. You've Changed
.05. Imagine
.06. Still Not Ready
.07. Early Morning Rain
.08. Tennessee Waltz
.09. I Can Only Be Me
.10. Danny Boy

Live in Blues Alley (1996)


Rating:★★★
Category:Music
Genre: Blues
Artist:Eva Cassidy

This was the first Eva Cassidy CD which I bought. A live solo album in 1996. Songs were recorded during her performances in the Blues Alley.

Eva Marie Cassidy (February 2, 1963 – November 2, 1996) was an American vocalist known for her reinterpretations of jazz, blues, folk, gospel and pop classics.

I like the way she sing "Tall Tress in Georgia" and "Field of Golds". Sting's and Eva's renditions of the "Field of Golds" are so different, one's so masculine and the other more feminine, but each is superb in its own way, but both are equally emotional.

Live At Blues Alley
.01. Cheek To Cheek
.02. Stormy Monday
.03. Bridge Over Troubled Water
.04. Fine And Mellow
.05. People Get Ready
.06. Blue Skies
.07. Tall Trees In Georgia
.08. Fields Of Gold
.09. Autumn Leaves
.10. Honeysuckle Rose
.11. Take Me To The River
.12. What A Wonderful World
.13. Oh Had I A Golden Thread

Songs I like in the album
- Field of Golds
- Tall Trees in Georgia
- Bridge over Troubled Water
- What a Wonderful World
