In 2000, while browsing the aisles at Borders Bookstore adjacent to New York's World Trade Center, I randomly stopped at a listening station, picked up a set of headphones and decided to check out an unknown artist. I was blown away, to use a very common term, and have, ever since, been telling people about her. She's one of the best singers to give written words emotion they deserve. A wonderfully produced piece, this tribute piece is long deserved and succeeds to give us a taste of her music. Her version of "Fields of Gold", as well as renditions of other classics, some included in this piece,is simply breathtaking. Her last public performance, which is released later as a live album, is a must have. If you haven't discovered Eva Cassidy yet, thank Fred that it's now one click away.
