5 out of 5 stars Simply the best.......2007-03-08

What can you say about Eva Cassidy? What a tragedy that she died so young! She has probably one of the most beautiful voices of any young singer that ever recorded a song. Her "Over the Rainbow" on this album is without a doubt, for me at least, the most beautiful, poignant song I have heard. That's a tall order. But music is appreciated like any art ... in the ear of the beholder. She may not be your cup of tea. For me, she would have been one of the greatest female vocals ever had she not died so young. I highly recommend this CD as a collector's item.

What can I say about this CD by Eva Cassidy?
I love every song on it - particularly her rendition of 'Over the Rainbow' - which many American Idol singers try to immatate, but never reproduce.

Her voice is beautiful, rich as any female singer I've ever heard and also never over-the-top vocally. Eva's vocals are artfully performed and she seems to have a perfect vocal feel for every song that she sings which is rare among performers. Every song that Eva sings she makes her own. Highly recommended as well as any CD by Eva Cassidy. You simply cannot go wrong.

5 out of 5 stars Angelic voice.......2007-02-05

I normally wake up to the Today Show in the morning. One morning several years ago Eva Cassidy's story was featured. I heard an angelic voice and thought I was in the middle of a dream. In my lucid morning state, I was moved by her story and that haunting voice. Like many that morning, I did a search in Amazon and purchased the CD. No other song can move me like her rendition of Over the Rainbow. I highly recommend this CD.

5 out of 5 stars No American Idol winner will ever impress you again.......2007-01-28

Not after you've heard this posthumous collection of remarkable interpretations. Others have said what I have to say, particularly about how Eva's Over the Rainbow touches some emotional chord inside you that maybe you didn't even know was there. In my whole life I can think of only a handful of other performances by anyone, in any genre, that are capable of producing a similar response in me. And on this one album, there are two such life-altering tracks (add Fields of Gold). I'm only sorry I didn't learn about her until, like many others, I saw a rebroadcast of Dave Marash's piece from Nightline.
