Eva Cassidy - The Best Of Eva Cassidy

180-gram vinyl double LP

On September 17, 1996, a young woman, accompanied by a few dozen family and friends, attended her own tribute concert in a small club in the Washington, DC area. Transcending the effects of chemotherapy and morphine in that moment, the singer abandoned her walker and was helped onto the stage for what would be her final performance, "What a Wonderful World." A few weeks later Eva Cassidy passed away, having been diagnosed with melanoma months earlier.

Refusing to bend her music to the industry's conventions and expectations, Eva was known only within the DC area during her lifetime. She left behind one live album, a duet album, and various studio demos and live recordings. In these intervening 16 years, Eva's music has proven timeless and universal. Crossing all boundaries - musical, cultural, geographical - her voice survived and is finding new listeners every day in every corner of the earth.

Released on the eve of what would have been her 50th birthday, these 20 performances document Eva Cassidy's musical legacy for the ages.

Gorgeous voice posted on 02/06/2024 5 Stars Reviewer: cwalker I can't get enough of Eva Cassidy. Sad to know she died before I discovered her. Never owned her vinyl records before but they are so well recorded, mastered, and pressed. Easy to rate this wonderful sounding LP 5 stars. If there were 6 or 10 stars, this record would be rated the max. Thank you Eva fans, and thank her family for releasing this LP. All vinyl lovers should own Eva's records.

Simply Beautiful posted on 08/06/2022 5 Stars Reviewer: Steven M. Excellent vinyl pressing and amazing song selection. I am grateful to have been blessed with this woman’s angelic voice, albeit it was just for a very short time. Her legacy lives on through these recordings. If you are to only own one of her albums, get this one. You will not be disappointed.
