| Eva Cassidy - American Tune Classification: Folk & Traditional Band: Eva Cassidy Tracks: - Drowning In The Sea Of Love - True Colors - The Water Is Wide - Hallelujah I Love Him So - God Bless The Child - Dark Eyed Molly - American Tune - It Don't Mean A Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing - Yesterday - You Take My Breath Away A voice from over the Rainbow has blessed us again Today is a day when I've been reminded that we Live in a wonderful world. It is August and the sun is shining in the garden. For the last hour, time has wrapped around me in a hauntingly beautiful sequence of songs - Eva Cassidy's 'American Tune'. My wife bought me the CD this morning as she knew I had liked 'Songbird'. As we listened to the directness of the interpretations and the sympathetic backing musicians, I reflected that the spiritual shiver I always get in the silence at the end of 'Songbird' is here in all ten tracks. A voice from over the Rainbow has blessed us again Eva's amazing voice overcomes all limitations According to the liner notes, these tracks are from rehearsal tapes and Live recordings, yet Eva's remarkable singing is at the same high level as on many of her other excellent recordings. Her voice soars as she sings such familiar songs as "True Colors" and "Yesterday." Her soulful version of "The Water Is Wide" may be the best-sung I've heard heard, possibly only 2nd to James Taylor's. It's all about Eva's vocals, as the backing Band is merely adequate, often sounding like a pick-up Band at some club. (If you disagree with me, listen to the uninspired support for Eva on "Hallelujah I Love Him So.") Of course some of that is to be expected with the raw nature of the recordings. One suggestion I have for the Cassidy Clan is to hire an Actual professional Artist or art company to do the CD covers. The cover for this new CD is yet another amateurish work like something you or I could do with publishing software at home. It's "pick a photo, pick a font, you've got the cover!" The weak CD covers do Eva a disservice. eva would be proud there are some songs that just get you."you take my breath away" will leave you breathless.its a Love song from the heart. the rendition of "true colors"is one of the best.relax, put your feet up, sit in the dark, and just listen.
