Though many recording artists meld and straddle a variety of genres, few if any defy categorization by excelling in so many disparate styles as the late Eva Cassidy. The diverse offerings from the evocative thrush from Washington, D.C. -- who died tragically of melanoma in 1996 at age 33 -- run the gamut from the radio-friendly pop cover of Sting ...
An album both haunting and inspiring, tragic and mesmerizing, Eva by Heart was the singer's only true studio album, and hints at the promise which was never to materialize due to her early demise from cancer. Five of the songs on this set ("I Know You by Heart," "Time Is a Healer," "Wayfaring Stranger," "Wade in the Water," and "Songbird") appear ...
The late Eva Cassidy gained a loyal following in the Washington, D.C., area through appearances in small clubs, utilizing her pitch-perfect singing voice to interpret a variety of tunes ranging from standards to modern-era pop songs. A notoriously shy performer, Eva Cassidy had a somewhat stiff stage presence, but she endeared herself to her ...
Eva Cassidy has achieved worldwide acclaim as a peerless interpreter of tunes ranging from Sting's "Fields of Gold" to standards such as "Over the Rainbow" (both of which appear on the 1998 release Songbird). Sadly, Eva Cassidy passed away on November 2, 1996, following a battle with cancer. She was only 33 years old. Her pristine singing voice ...
The saga of Eva Cassidy, the late Washington, D.C., singer who gained fame long after her early passing from melanoma, continues vibrantly on American Tune, a collection of ten more "leftovers" that former bandmates discovered in the past year -- similarly as they did on Imagine, the previous release of great cuts. While she never achieved much ...
In her brief lifetime, vocalist Eva Cassidy probably never thought that she would one day have something in common with rap legend 2Pac. But in the years following their deaths (oddly enough, both in 1996), studio and live recordings of the artists have continuously been unearthed and released to an eager public. Although 2Pac's musical vault ...
Not just another downbeat collection, The Classic Chillout Album is afforded a special status for a simple reason: standing behind it is the licensing weight of the Sony Corporation. The collection balances a spate of restful electronica hits (Moby's "Porcelain," Massive Attack's "Teardrop," Dido's "Here With Me," Delerium's "Silence") with ...
This volume of Martha Stewart Living is, not surprisingly, about putting children to bed, so the music is devoted to quiet NPR lullabies, balancing songs by new acoustic merchants like Nickel Creek, Alison Krauss, Tuck & Patti, and David Wilcox with adult alt-rock favorites like Barenaked Ladies, Lucinda Williams, and Everything but the Girl, plus ...
A desperate clamoring from fans worldwide is no doubt the last thing the late singer could have imagined when she was at clubs and at home singing and doing rough recordings of the tunes that would someday be chosen for this magnificent hodgepodge. But many years after her death in obscurity in late 1996, she became a true phenomenon, with ...
The U.K.'s Now series features timely selections of pop hits and provides a convenient way for casual pop fans to stay on top of the most popular singles. The sets are almost always naturally well-rounded, encompassing dance music, R&B, hip-hop, teen pop, and rock. And though they might expire, in a sense, since they're based on trends in pop ...
A mix of some of the biggest hits in Britain in 2001, Music: Today's Definitive Hits, Vol. 2 is actually a pretty great collection of pop music. Tracks from Eddy Grant, Destiny's Child, Dido, OutKast, Lil' Bow Wow, and Missy Elliott were not only hits in America, but are good pop songs in general. I Monster, the Alice Band, Jason Downs, Ash, M.O.P ...
The title of Rhino's Martha Stewart Living: Quiet Time pretty much explains it all -- this is a collection of 14 songs designed for relaxing. Since this was released in 2002, that means there is a lot of mature pop here, including selections by Luka Bloom, Eva Cassidy (doing Sting's "Fields of Gold"), Duncan Sheik, Jann Arden with Jackson Browne, ...
Songs From the Chillout Lounge is a double-disc set spanning three decades of hypnotizing pop songs and it's a sexy mix. Themes of love, lust, desire, and deception float throughout these 32 songs and it's a fashionable look at dance music's progression throughout the years. Select tracks from Moby, Dido, Kylie Minogue, and Goldfrapp capture the ...
The British double-disc collection The Love Album: Classics devotes a disc apiece to contemporary and time-tested love songs. Each disc is surprisingly eclectic -- the first one kicks off with Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman's charming mega-hit "Somethin' Stupid" and Kate Winslet's treacly "What If." It also includes predictable choices like ...
Somewhere marks the eight posthumous recording by Eva Cassidy -- none of her offerings were issued during her lifetime -- and puts her in the company of Tupac Shakur for a post-life discography. This is a true odds and sods collection of material that includes two co-writes and the usual slew of covers. The late Cassidy's covers run the gamut from ...
V2 Records' impressive roster helps to fill out this two-disc set of mellow songs from Radiohead, Dido, Badly Drawn Boy, and Coldplay, as well as some well-known acoustic performances from Nick Drake, Jeff Buckley, John Martyn, and Simon & Garfunkel. Unlike some sort of massive "Unplugged" session, the compilation acts more like an introduction to ...
