New Eva Cassidy - "Imagine"

i love it.....i've only listened to it once so far....but it is my second favorite "EVA" cd....behind "Live at Blues Alley". have some kleenex ready if Eva can effect you that way....this is a very intimate recording.

i was in Tower on Saturday and saw it and another Eva cd "Method Actor"; which is more of a curiousity than a good recording.....but entertianing enough that i'm glad i bought it.

i hope there is more Eva like "Imagine" that can be released in the future.

i cried when i heard her rendition of Danny Boy, but them i'm irish, what would you expect. imagine is excellent also. the other cuts w/out the band are very enjoyable, i'm just not fond of the cuts with the band as her voice is subsumed in the band music. sonic's wise some what typical of her other disc's, clearly she hadn't found good recording engineers before the end, although "live at blues alley" is the best of the lot. apart from the nicks and picks, this is EVA and its indispensible to anyone who who loves her. I found method actor interesting but i won't play it much - except for the promise of eva to come, it sounds like kids in a garage with a recorder having fun. its good for historical purposes though.

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.

Smp; I'm a big Eva fan too, but hadn't heard of this release. Thanks for the tip. Cheers. Craig
