CD ReviewsRemarkable Erik K | Austin, TX United States | 10/11/2000 (4 out of 5 stars) "What a voice... At times she evokes the great Sandy Denny with a small vocal nuance, sometimes she sounds like a great jazz diva from the 30s. But always Eva. A remarkable voice that got no real attention while she lived (while scads of talentless boy and teen bands are hyped to death, don't get me started).Starting with a lovely version of Paul Simon's Kathy's Song that leaves out the self-pitying middle verses, this album is one great vocal performance stacked on another until the final, gospel-tinged Way Beyond the Blue. There are standouts along the way, including a smoky Ain't No Sunshine and Time After Time. There are other songs that are not great, but are made better by the vocal treat that is this amazing voice. The tracks never mesh into a single album, though, as the jazz of Time After Time veers oddly into the country of Penny To My name and the varying recording qualities are obvious from track to track.The album is worth having (hell, get anything you can by this amazing artist), but it's not the place to start an Eva Cassidy collection. Get Live at Blues Alley (oh, what a wonder that one is). Get Songbird (which repeats parts of Blues Alley, but has some real standouts from other sources). Then get this to listen to when you've played those two to death." Another classic from a lost treasure mbpnyc | New York, NY United States | 06/24/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "Eva Cassidy was a true original, with a warm, emotional voice that she could wrap around any kind of music - jazz, pop, folk, blues, gospel, you name it. On this CD, she moves seamlessly from the sixties folk of "Kathy's Song", to the sophistocated "At Last"; from a haunting cover of Cindy Lauper's "Time After Time", to the quintessential Joni Mitchell anthem, "Woodstock". Each is different, and she makes each uniquely her own. Cassidy had an uncanny way of achieving an astounding level of intimacy with her listeners. You'll feel that she's singing each story just for you. Only one cut on the CD, the Boxtops' "The Letter", is unsuccessful, but this rare misstep does not significantly detract from the overall quality of the album.If you've never heard Eva Cassidy's music, you're missing something special. As marvelous as this CD is, the earlier "Eva By Heart" is even better. And on "Live At Blues Alley", she accomplishes the impossible; she sings "Over the Rainbow" as well as, if not better than, Judy Garland. On that same CD, her rendition of Sting's "Fields of Gold" will leave you breathless. Buy "Time After Time" now, and make it the first in what will certainly be a collection of CD's by a most extraordinary artist." Beautifully Mesmerizing Patrice Webb | Georgetown, California USA | 06/23/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "When God gave us Eva Cassidy he blessed us with a voice so implicitly perfect it seemed to shine like a beacon from Heaven. Eva's was a voice that came from such an innocent place that it simply came and stayed a while and then left us with only its haunting memory. Although Eva Cassidy died of cancer in 1996, her life continues to bless us through this beautiful CD.Equally at home with jazz, folk, blues, rock, or folk, she was a woman who colored outside the lines and refused to conform to any boundaries in her art and music - boundaries that most of us take for granted every day. It was not just her voice that captivated and moved people, it was the texture and color of it and the way it made every little word seem to take a breath and have a life of its own.Most of the songs on this CD are colored with simple often acoustic arrangements - some with just Cassidy's voice and guitar. Her version of Paul Simon's Kathy's Song will now forever be the definitive version for me. Also included is a jazz inflected version of Bill Wither's Ain't no Sunshine recorded live at Blues Alley.In the CD's closing song, Eva sings "Oh Lord do you remember me way beyond the blue?" Yes Eva he does, and so do we in your special place singing with the Angels."
