| | Album Notes and Credits |
Notes & Personnel Info |  | Personnel: Eva Cassidy (acoustic guitar, electric guitar); Keith Grimes (electric guitar); Lenny Williams (piano); Chris Biondo (bass guitar); Raice McLeod (drums). | | Recording information: Blues Valley (01/02/1996/01/03/1996); Chris Biondo's Studio (01/02/1996/01/03/1996). | | Photographer: Larry Melton. | | Singer Eva Cassidy achieved posthumous fame with SONGBIRD, an anthology of her finest moments. During her lifetime, however, Cassidy made a name for herself in Washington, D.C., where she lived and regularly performed. LIVE AT BLUES ALLEY captures Cassidy in her element running through a list of standards like "What a Wonderful World" and contemporary favorites like "Bridge Over Troubled Water." | | While Cassidy's choice of material might seem somewhat stock, her singing is anything but. Her clear, guileless voice dazzles in both its technical facility and its emotional expressiveness, and it is easy to hear why she had a dedicated local following (and would have broken through to a wider audience had it not been for her death in 1996). Fans of SONGBIRD should seek out LIVE AT BLUES ALLEY for a taste of Cassidy as she sounded in intimate quarters. |
| | Artist Overview | | Eva Cassidy was an American singer who mixed folk, pop, standards, and soul in a gentle yet affecting manner. Though she was initially known only around her Washington, D.C., home base, word of her talents began to grow--though unfortunately only after her tragically early death in 1996 from cancer at the age of 33. She gained a huge posthumous following in England, which eventually spread back to her own country. The only shame is that she wasn't around to enjoy it. |
