After seeing a profile about Eva Cassidy on tv and hearing a small section of her singing 'Over the Rainbow' I was intrigued to go and look up this CD in my local record store.
This album is superb, Eva Cassidy has one of the purest voices I've heard in a very long time. She has some great tracks on this album, I personally prefer the slower, heartbreaking ones, which the way she sings them will break your heart. There are slso some jazzy, souly type tracks here which are pretty good (not usually my thing).
It's a great shame that Ms Cassidy never got the chance to record more music, but I'll definitely be looking up the other albums that she did complete.
