Eve pulls you in with the beauty of her voice and takes you wherever she is going. I don't think I've ever felt more listening to any other performer. Magical.

She absolutely slays this song and that is her on the guitar as well. @ 2:39 she breaks a string and doesn't miss a beat. Dude this rabbit hole is deep and gushing with goodness. Somewhere Over the Rainbow, Songbird, Fields of Gold, What a Wonderful World, Chain of Fools, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Imagine, Time after Time, People Get Ready, At Last, Autumn Leaves and on and on. She kills them all.

Somewhere Over the Rainbow, Fields of Gold, and Autumn Leaves are some of my favorites. Eva died in her 30s from cancer. She never signed a recording contract but she had recorded a lot of her songs live. She refused to be put into any category and only sang what she wanted to sing. After her death a British DJ played her version of Over the Rainbow and the song and the album it came from went to the top of the British charts. She also plays the guitar on this and other recordings. To me her voice is just amazing, she put so much emotion into her singing that you can't help but be moved by her songs.

Longtime fan of Eva Cassidy. One of the sweetest and purest voices I have ever heard.

Eva cassidys version of somewhere over the rainbow is unparalleled

[margaretathey]

Her time here was way too short— so grateful for her music

[grandmalizzy]

Love her & miss her! My favorite is her cover of Sting’s “Fields of Gold”…..you would love it!

[bradmcneil]

Whenever I stop n listen to Eva Cassidy, I'm always transported to that peaceful place that just belongs to me.

[vickielamb]

Some where over the rainbow is a must.

Oh man...the magical, incomparable Eva Cassidy. Her voice will never not reduce me to tears. I don't hear her music with my ears, I feel it with my soul.

[retroactiveautrey]

My God, what an angel. We had her for such a fleeting season.

[butchkerley]

Eva is my favorite - Her live performance of Autumn Leaves is the greatest live performance I've ever heard of any song - absolutely chilling

[jeffreyjacobs]

The song was a TRADITIONAL MELODY ( PUB FAMILIAR) the words some century plus written after .... but, how many Irish or not TENORS HAVE DONE IT JUSTICE up until the 1990s when this unknown, undeserved in life so short - ABSOLUTE ANGELIC POWERHOUSE VOICE - NAILED IT LIKE NEVER BEFORE ?!? Gone but, NEVER forgotten by this devotee - GBjj

[m.a.sperry]

Please listen to her version of "Songbird"-so sweet, it'll break your heart. Her voice is angelic.. She died way too soon, in her 30th year I believe. "Fields of Gold" is another gem.

[markpowers]

This is an old Irish wake/funeral hymn. As far as I can assess this song is a mother waiting for her son Danny to return from war...likely WW1. She hadn't heard from him since he left.... and he likely died in battle. So... she waits as the seasons come and go...still no word from him...she holds out hope as long as she can...but time takes her..as it likely did her son many years earlier..

[jackpeters]

The term "gifted" would never be more applicable...Beautiful

[sandrasofiahsexton]

No one can sing the way Eva Cassidy did. Because every song she recorded is so masterfully intoned and expressed, each unique in greatness, I cannot choose a favorite. However, I can tell you that I believe no one could ever top rendition of Over the Rainbow.

[navrozelalkaka]

that voice carves your soul into something exquisite than ever before

[jdw]

You have to hear her live version of Over the Rainbow! She passed away from melanoma at the age of 33. Her parents have released many albums with songs that she had previously recorded.

I grew up with Eva in a town in Maryland, USA... She died so young. Check out her Blues Alley album. Thank you for listening to her. She interprets these standards and covers so differently.
