So "Live At Blues Alley", and the extended version "Night Bird" are incredibly good records and captured an incredible moment in time. If you are interested in Eva Cassidy and the live session, check out the documentary linked below:
Eva Cassiday Blew Me Away with her cover of Wayfaring Stranger....
It caught me by surprise to have my eyes already closed (because of work stress), sitting at my desk with a glass of bourbon. I was cleaning junk up and Wayfaring Stranger comes on by Eva Cassiday, and I had no idea for a moment who was singing the song. I was just listening without active listening.
Well, I was grooving to her movements on this and I thought her tone was big, warm and bold with gobs and gobs of soul. Wow. It woke me up from some stress to experience a moment. That's pretty great.
Is Eva Cassidy worth a deeper dive? I'm only superficially familiar with her and find her talented, if not a touch easy listening at times. I can dig that. Is her catalog diverse in sound scape and production?
At any rate, what a version of Wayfaring Stranger, and it just so happens to be a superb recording to boot!

@jbhiller - Not trying to distract from the point of this thread (Eva Cassidy), but just curious. What were you listening to when you heard this? Radio Paradise, Spotify? Radio? Who's playing music like this? Curated or algorithm? Curious... |
@jbhiller - Got it. Roon discovery algorithm. Just proves the machines are smarter than the humans! It knows what you want... As a side note, I've discovered a ton of great music via Spotify's discover weekly algorithm. Oh, and via Radio Paradise... |
