Product Description
From Amazon.com
Eva Cassidy fans surely feel something akin to relief when another cache of tapes is opened for release. The singer's 1996 death at the age of 33, after all, rendered her output finite in the saddest and most frustrating way. American Tune's modus operandi is similar to previous Cassidy CDs in its mix of standard repertoire (here, everything from "Yesterday" to "God Bless the Child" and Ray Charles's "Hallelujah I Love [Him] So" rubs shoulders) and fine, less obvious choices (Joe Simon's early-'70s soul hit "Drowning in the Sea of Love"). The sometimes pedestrian backing does little to spoil the pleasure of Cassidy's pure tone and the surprises she's able to wring from the material--on the Charles tune, she even suggests a distaff Lyle Lovett. She'd no doubt be pleased to know that tracks uncovered at this point now sound like, well, notes from a missed, much-loved friend. --Rickey Wright
Album Description
2003 album featuring Eva's unique interpretations of ten classic songs. From her timeless reading of 'American Tune' (Paul Simon's reflections on an ever-changing America) to 'Drowning In The Sea Of Love' (a searing blues-rock take on the Joe Simon 70s hit written and produced by Gamble & Huff), this collection is filled with thrills and surprises. Blix Street.

Eva and Genie make great chill out music - American Tune,
This review is from: American Tune (Audio CD)
I got this CD at the same time as some other Eva and the Wildflowers love songs by Genie. They were recommended together and what a great recommendation - they are both great in their own ways. I splurged but it was way worth it!The Wildflowers Love Songs CD by Genie is slower and more peaceful. It's like the softer parts of Molly and Yesterday, before Eva gets loud. I use the Genie Wildflowers CD for resting and dreaming, and I use Eva for a little variety when i've played Genie's about a million times. It's all good. Great music is great music - nothing else in the world can make me feel so good.

Eva is a must,
By Ray-Michael (Lancaster, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: American Tune (Audio CD)
With soulful phrasing, and a haunting voice, Eva is one of the best american singers to date. True, however, she is unknown to many, Eva Cassidy is one singer no one should be without. She is to vocal music as Monet was to paint. Her coupling of notes is much like that of an the painter, coungering up images and thoughts, leaving even the most burdened heart left with an uplifting embrace. She was one of a kind, and will serverly and sadly be missed.
