Songbird cherry picks tracks from the three locally released albums of Eva Cassidy, whose hauntingly beautiful vocals
went virtually unheard outside her native Washington, D.C., during her short 33 years with us. Lost to melanoma in 1996,
Cassidy sang with an unaffected purity and an astonishing ability to make both classic and contemporary songs sound like
they were written just for her. Sting's "Fields Of Gold" finally lives up to its title through the alchemy of
Cassidy's transcendent rendition, while other tracks on this anthology showcase her ease in the realms of pop (Christine
McVie's "Songbird"), soul ("People Get Ready"), gospel ("Wade On The Water") and
traditional standards ("Autumn Leaves" and "Over The Rainbow"). Framed by understated jazz and pop
arrangements, Cassidy's clear, soulful voice and exquisite phrasing make her that rarest of vocalists whose
interpretations are a complement to any song. A fine introduction to a true talent. 

Posthumously released album by the Washington DC based vocalist who died of cancer in 1996 aged just 33. 'Songbird'
combines tracks from the albums 'Live At Blues Alley', 'Eva By Heart' and 'The Other Side', her collaboration with the
'Godfather Of Go Go', Chuck Brown. The album features her acclaimed cover of Sting's 'Fields Of Gold'.
