I havent heard the new cd enough to make up my mind, but I have some impressions. If you are an Eva fan (I certainly am), you will want this cd. If you have never heard her before, you should start with the earler cds. Friends of mine say they break up over her rendition of Danny Boy. I don't. I don't think there's a song on this cd that she makes her own the way she does with, e.g., Wade in the Water, People Get Ready, Time After Time, Over the Rainbow or Fields of Gold. But that's to be expected. Except for the Chuck Brown cd and Blues Alley, we're talking about compilations. The best material came out first.
I'm still glad I have the new cd, and I am going to give it a more thoughtful hearing soon. Maybe today.
