Songbird (Rare Tracks & Forgotten Gems/+DVD) [Digipak] [Remastered] - Emmylou Harris

A Definite Songbird

Advantages: A great mix of tracks
Disadvantages: None

. The track on Songbird include:- Fields of Gold Wade in the Water Autumn Leaves Wayfaring Stranger Songbird Time is a Healer I Know you by Heart People Get Ready Oh, Had I a Golden Thread Over the Rainbow All of the songs are from a mixture of ballads to swing sounding tracks and even a gospel sounding song which features the use of a church organ. The mix is great and I do not feel like any of the tracks seem out of place on this album. I like the fact that this album is not just full of ballads but also shows the range of Eva's talent and vocal ability with the different mix and tempo songs. I have to admit that there is a few songs on here which I had never heard before listening to them from here but now I have heard them several times they really are growing on me. I was never really a big fan of Eva Cassidy as I had never ...

Review of Songbird - Eva Cassidy

TRIBUTE TO A SONGBIRD.

Advantages: Beauty and sincerity in an angels voice.
Disadvantages: She died young.

natural and her voice means what she says. TRACK FIVE Songbird 3.43 min Again, a sad song, although Eva looks back again and thinks about her relationship and how real it is and how the songbirds sing about their love affair, and how much she loves the person for whom she is singing the song. Her singing is pretty in this song, innocent in many ways, simple and almost childlike. She was a young singer and has made it in this song work in her favor. Simple love that believes in everything that love can give. Melodious and pretty. TRACK SIX Time is a Healer 4.15 min A kind of bluesy number, where Eva is looking back through photos of someone she loved, someone who had given her a lot of pain, and seeing once again in the photograph the goodness of the person she knew, rather ...

Review of Songbird - Eva Cassidy

Tied My Baby to the Railroad Track

Advantages: A solid album of approachable, high-energy hard rock.
Disadvantages: Nothing too innovative or spectacular, but that's sort of the point.

short and simple angry hard rock to lengthier and more laid-back blues-based compositions, and admirably seems to improve with each track before peaking at 'What's Next to the Moon,' an amusing tale of a man's desire to top his lover in all manner of exciting ways before being apprehended by a police officer and revealing/pretending that she died disappointingly of a heart attack. Featuring a brief harmonica, great guitar solo and the album's most energetic riffs, particularly in the chorus, this is probably the album's defining moment, but that doesn't mean the rest pales in comparison. 'Gimme a Bullet,' despite its depressing subject matter, rocks along at an enjoyable pace and shares a distinct vocal melody with Judas Priest's later, lesser song 'Troubleshooter,' while the album's concluding songs up the ante to deliver Scott ...
