New Eva Cassidy - "Imagine"


I have the new Eva Cassidy on order from CD Now - Anyone like to give me their impressions so far - as enjoyable as Live at Blues Alley and Songbird ?

Thanks.

Sorry to take an opposite viewpoint, but I found it more intimate and better recorded but didn't care for the covers as much as some of her other material. Blues Alley and Time After Time were, IMO, much better in terms of material. Guess that's why they make chocolate AND vanilla.
As you can tell, I'm with Paulwp (esp on his choice of favorite tracks). No goosebumps here, even tho its the best audio quality so far. Worth having, but somehow its doesn't seem that Eva made an emotional connection with these songs.
JD- you've got it right. Guitar and voice excellent, performance only so-so. Its a little sterile sounding. For me, the emotional impact of her work is primary and I must admit to being a little disappointed.
