Customer Reviews:

SWEET FLOWER, PLUCKED FROM US SO CRUELLY.......2005-06-14

Of course I rate this five stars. Eva Cassidy had rare talent. Her voice was smooth and soothing with great interpretation and phrasing. And I give her this rating based on these qualities. From all accounts Ms. Cassidy was a feisty sort - she was a hard-edged feminist and not afraid to be outspoken. One wonders what she'd think of the melodramatic, syrupy reviews I've seen for some of her CD's. How many times can one read: 'she was a delicate flower plucked in the prime of life' or 'I can't bear losing this sweet bird of youth' or 'her sweet melodiousness was taken from us so cruelly' and the like. No kidding, check out the Songbird CD and see 500+ reviews, many neurotically fixated on this talented artist's sad demise. Is this the Eva Cassidy review board or the Eva Cassidy eulogy board? Makes you reach for an airline sickness bag. Bottom line: Eva Cassidy wasn't a wistful little flower. She was a strong personality repulsed by such drivel. We celebrate her talent and the great musical legacy she left behind - much like we celebrate the late Karen Carpenter. Her CDs are recommended for people of all musical tastes. IMHO.

Speechless.......2005-04-08

This album contains selections from every style of music and Eva masters all of them. Her voice is the most amazing instrument...at times powerful, at times soft and sweet. I am saddened to think that our world has lost someone so talented so prematurely. I listen to her CD's over and over and never get tired of them. I am in awe.

NO one compares.......2004-12-26

I purchased every last one of Eva's CD's after hearing her sing "Imagine" just less than a year ago... Any other artist who even tries to sing a song that Eva already recorded sounds like a cheap imitation of what was already perfected by Eva. Eva has it all! You cannot go wrong by purchasing ANY recordings of Eva Cassidy, who has the ability to move you to levels you never thought possible with the sound of her magical voice. WOW!

A great collection, although no previously unreleased tracks.......2004-08-26

People yet to discover the amazing voice of Eva Cassidy will want this album, perhaps after purchasing the first compilation "Songbird". However, I do believe this is a better compilation because it contains more of my personal favourites. One listen of her rendition of Simon and Garfunkel's "Kathy's SOng" will turn you into an Eva Cassidy fan. "Waly, Waly" is simply beautiful, with a haunting touch. Most fans will own all of the other albums, so buying this will be unnecessary as it contains all previously released material.

Tracks on this collection include:

1. What a Wonderful World (from Live At Blues Alley)
2. Kathy's Song (From Time After Time)
3. Say Goodbye (from Eva By Heart)
4. Anniversary Song (from Time After Time)
5. How Can I Keep From Singing? (from Eva By Heart)6. You Take My Breath Away (from American Tune)
7. Drowning in the Sea of Love (from American Tune)
8. Penny to My Name (from Time After Time)
9. You've Changed (from Imagine)
10. It Doesn't Matter Anymore (from Imagine)
11. Waly Waly (from Eva By Heart)

I would recommend purchasing "Live at Blues Alley" for those just new to Eva Cassidy.

The superb Eva Cassidy one more time.......2004-08-06

This is a great companion CD to 'Songbird'. If you can only purchase a limited number of Eva Cassidy recordings you can't go wrong with this selection of songs. (Of course every song she sings is great!!) If you already own the entire collection this one is still a nice addition to keep in your car or with your portable CD player. If you've never heard Eva Cassidy you're in for a rare treat when you listen to an Eva Cassidy song for the first time. You will be hooked!
