Album Description:
The 2000 release Time After Time is a collection of 12 previously unreleased Eva Cassidy performances, primarily studio recordings, Time After Time also includes four live tracks.

Minus all the machinery that the music industry can put behind an artist, Eva Cassidy sang bewitchingly in Washington, D.C. and then died without fanfare in 1996, when she was a mere 33 years old. And then the world began hearing Cassidy, thanks largely to Songbird, a posthumous collection of locally released album tracks that went on to garner media attention, critical praise, and commercial success. This collection gathers both live and studio cuts delivered within warm, mostly acoustic settings; often it is simply Cassidy, her voice, and her guitar. Inside are some of Cassidy's best-executed covers, beginning with Paul Simon's "Kathy's Song" and ending with a stellar rendition of the traditional gospel "Way Beyond the Blue." In between are heart-wringing versions of Bill Withers's "Ain't No Sunshine" and Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time." What distinguishes Cassidy so completely is her offhand ability to transform songs beyond their initial character with a voice that brilliantly mixes an airy floating quality and an edge that you know can pop open to reveal a belt-it-out strength to rival the best in the singer's trade. --Andrew Bartlett

Rating: - Very Sweet
I have always listened attentively whenever a selection by this very talented musican came over the radio; however, it wasn't until I heard Cassidy's redition of Paul Simon's "Kathy's Song" on a folk music station that I finally bought a the CD that included that song. Cassidy's interpretation of a wide range of genres on this CD---from Irish folk ballad to pop to blues---is truly phenomenal and her delivery of all of them is as smooth as silk. That cancer took her young life is truly tragic, but ... Read More

Rating: - Relax and enjoy.
Wonderful renditions of so many familiar songs. Eva gives them each her special treatment. She has left us but we have the gift of her voice to enjoy. I wish that I had seen her perform. This is a great CD to listen to undisturbed or to have as background music as you relax with friends.

Rating: - A dedication
This isn't a review of this CD, rather a dedication to Eva Cassidy, accentuating what she means to me, and, perhaps, to others as well. I wrote this for her:

Aching Voices, Clear


When the winds turn to us, and sing
In places held so close and dear, softly
Heard, like melting snows in New Spring
Those aching voices, clear...
Her song comes to us then, in pensive
Quiet joy
Her soul sails with us, and
We go on
She goes with ... Read More

Rating: - Eva Cassidy Lovers
You won't disappointed if you enjoy the music of the late Eva Cassidy. It is warming, soothing music made famous by other artists. Overall, she does a great job. I was only disappointed with Joni Mitchell's Woodstock, actually made popular by Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. I think that Eva sings it a little too slowly. Otherwise, the cd is a recommended purchase.
