IT'S incredible to believe Eva Cassidy is still surprising and delighting her fans with the release of new songs 12 years after her untimely death at the age of 33.
A decade after her seminal album Songbird soared to worldwide acclaim, family and friends have managed to piece together several 'lost' recordings and other previously unreleased tracks to create yet another touching collection of songs that touch the heart. While not having the immediate impact, perhaps of Songbird, these 12 tracks are still of the highest quality and yet another beautiful glimpse in the life and work of a truly great female vocalist.
There's also a real blues edge to a number of these tracks, which stretches Cassidy's vocal range to new and interesting heights. As the possibilities of releasing new work diminishes with every passing year, these rare occasions where her precious songs are rediscovered are a thrill for music fans and further testament to her prowess as one of the greatest singers of her time.
