Title: Eva does easy listening
Review: I am a massive Eva Cassidy fan. I have bought all her CD's (beginning after a chance encounter seeing her perform live in an Annapolis tavern [in 1996?]). As everybody observes, she was an extremely versatile performer, bravely applying her vocal talent to a wide range of music genres.On this CD, however, the result does not at all work for me. It sounds a bit like the background track to a banal teen romantic comedy. Comes complete with the Kenny-G-esque sax treatment.Eva cannot reach the sublime plane with this kind of junk food style music the way she can with her remarkable Jazz, Blues and Gospel numbers. My guess is that if she were alive she never would have let this one get released. It probably shouldn't have been.
