Eva在96年就死了,才33歲。
從cd now轉貼過來:(請自行翻譯囉!)
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 and choice of songs add poignancy to her recordings that admittedly make her music more effective. But if she had lived, her ability to make even the most familiar songs fresh through the sheer power of her voice would still earn her the well-deserved praise that, sadly, she never lived to see. Ironically, Eva Cassidy never intended to be a professional singer. Working as a landscaper by day and living in Bowie, MD, just outside of Washington, D.C., she was eventually coaxed into performing and eventually began making her way through D.C.-area clubs; the 1996 album Live at Blues Alley is an effective introduction to her live work. Hooking up with producer Chris Biondo in his Maryland studio, and incorporating a range of styles with roots in folk, jazz, gospel, and blues, she recorded material ranging from the traditional "Oh, I Had a Golden Thread" to the Christine McVie-penned "Songbird"; much of this material was eventually released on posthumous collections such as Eva By Heart. Calling Eva Cassidy one of the best singers who ever lived could easily be considered an overstatement. But to her dedicated fans, Eva Cassidy is worthy of such praise. While her place in American popular music is arguable, there's no denying the power of her recordings, and Eva Cassidy seemed to have the magic touch to make anything she sang instantly memorable. ~ William Cooper, All Music Guide
他發行的五張專輯竟然都是死後才發行的....
不過,沒看到橘色娃娃提到的那張,另外,我好像從未見過他的唱片
唱片公司好像沒代理...
從網路上找到他的歌....真的很不錯,建議直接找live at blues alley這張現場演唱,就可聽到他的功力。
