Eva Cassidy newbee

Agreed, Live at Blues Alley is a must. Terrific talent.

Live at Blues Alley by far one of her best.
There is a web site dedicated to Eva.

Buy them all!!!

Papertrail is right. Get them all. There are some gems on each one. That said, IMO, Live at Blues Alley is the most consistent and best accompanied of her albums.

Most of the others have a clinker or two and amateurish musical support, but her phrasing, power and tone are enough to carry you through the less stellar tunes.

I recently bought "Imagine" and "Time After Time". I expected them to be bottom of the barrel since they were put together last, but not so. In fact I'm pulling Time After Time off the shelf more often than the others now. The songs, performances, and recording are equal to both Songbird and Blues Alley.
