Album Notes
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.

    Without a doubt Live At Blues Alley is my favorite album from a singer who had an unbelievably perfect voice she could wrap around gospel, blues, folk, jazz and any other style of music she wanted to sing. I don't know that she ever knew how good she was; she just loved to sing but was too shy to pursue a career in a field that chews up and spits out much stronger personalities. But Eva commanded the stage when she sang. Listen to what she can do with Sting's "Fields of Gold," Billie Holiday's "Fine and Mellow, Buffy Sainte-Marie's "Tall Trees in Georgia" and "What A Wonderful World." Her voice singing Paul Simon's "Bridge over Troubled Water" simply makes my soul ache. This album contains 4 tracks from her 1998 breakthrough legend album, Songbird, but this intimate portrait of a singer in love with song and an audience in love with her pitch-perfect voice is my absolute favorite.
