Eva Cassidy: No longer only a "cover girl"

Posted about 1 year ago



I was at Borders Books & Music today, looking for Cecilio & Kapono's "Lifetime Party: 30 Years of Friends Volume 2." I found it, browsed a bit more, then went to the new arrivals section. I saw this large poster of Eva Cassidy and thought: "How nice, another anthology?" Then it dawned on me that this was something new. New Eva Cassidy material? Hasn't that well been pumped dry by now? No. To top it off, Eva Cassidy DID write and record an original song with Chris Biondi in 1990! Unlike the usual, solo/small group effort, this unfinished recording has gotten the full treatment, orchestra, synths, etc. This may be a bit much for the "simple and spare Eva Cassidy," but think of this as what might have been if Blue Note had figured how to make it happen.
