Eva Cassidy,passed too early in her life,what a voice,and this CD proves that she is(was)Awesome,in her day. I have all of Eva's CD's this one's exceptional. A must for Eva's follower's

I totally agree with R. Scott Richter, but i think it`s the recording (or better re-mastering) who makes this album sound bad, i have more albums of other singers who are RE-MASTERED and they all sounded bad in comparing with the original, this is my first album from Eva Cassidy, so i can not compare it with the original recordings.
The music though is very good, so the two stars are just for the quality of the recording (re-mastering).

one of the few times i've known that i would love a cd from the first note was quite recently when i stumbled upon miss eva. her voice alone is reason enough to buy this record, but once the melody and lyrics hit you, you know it's one of those records that is going to blow you away everytime you hear it.

This is the album that many of the songs from "SONGBIRD" compilation were plucked from.

Eva Cassidy possessed one of the greatest voices in my opinion. I am proud to own all her albums including this one which features a standout track called "Blues in the Night". It is an awesome song to listen to in the car. I turn it up so loud at the traffic lights!

As many have stated, her version of Christie McVie's "songbird" is stunning - in fact, she makes it her own. The album also boasts "Wade in the Water" and "wayfaring stranger".

This album comes a close second to "Eva - Live at Blues Alley".

For all those people yet to discover Eva, you do not know what you have been missing ...

I per chance caught a song on my local radio station that seriously got my attention,when I finally figured out who the artist was I went on a manhunt to locate her. Fortunately for me I picked the cd that EVERY SINGLE song on it is FAB-U-LOUS! Eva Cassidy is an angel her "Songbird" album is my number one choice of a cd in this lifetime so far. I have found that her music is in fact very healing and I can listen to it over and over and not get tired of it. I didn't buy just one cd for myself I bought one for my Mom and my best friend. I am SO greatful that I found Eva Cassidy because my world would NOT be the same without her.

I never tire of this voice! Buy the best of her essence. Get "Eva By Heart"; "Time after Time"; "Songbird" and Imagine" and you'll have the purest performances she had a chance to record. She's a course in "Singing 101"

Eva Cassidy's voice has an effect on me that I hadn't experienced in years. I'll never forget the first time I heard her... my dad played me her version of "Autumn Leaves" and I started to cry. Then he told me that she'd passed away, and I cried even harder. Her voice is a little raw, a little edgy, but the notes are so pure that you can feel them vibrating in your heart, and the pain is exquisite. My favorite song on this CD is "I know you by heart," she almost gets a little overwhelmed herself as she pours out her heart. If you haven't heard Eva yet, then you're missing out on a rare jewel.

God's gift to music lovers everywhere. This CD is outstanding and full of heart.

No matter how many times I hear any of my Eva albums, I am absolutely blown away by her soulful voice. The world lost a major talent when she passed away, but the heavenly hosts have their lead singer, don't they?

If you're only thinking of buying this album, stop thinking and JUST DO IT!!!

I didn't know of this musician until 5 months ago. This is a great collection of her best songs. What a dynamic voice, with a great range. She can sing ballads, blues and gospell without missing a beat. "I Know you by Heart" and "Songbird" (by Christie McVie of Fleetwood Mac fame) are classics. In researching her, I learned she passed away about 5 years ago in her early 30's from cancer. Her passing is unfortunate for us as listeners, as I agree with the critics that she did so much in such little time, but never got to attain the stardom that she deserved. There is a void in the music world.
