 Not bad, not great
Submitted on: 2007-01-07 |

This album is not nearly as bad as some people here would have you think. It is at least as good as 95% of the popular 'Pop' albums out there. Seriously. But the trouble is that, when comparing it to Eva's AMAZING recordings on her other disks, it definitely comes off as second best.
Eva is at her best when she is sitting on a stool in some smokey bar, singing her heart out. The beauty of Eva Cassidy is her lyricism and her incredible 'from the soul' renditions of all of her music. In this album, those things are lost, since the producers (without the permission of her estate) took some of her vocal tracks, after her death, and buried them in instrumental and 'support' tracks, in arrangements that she never would have approved. The true Eva is here, somewhere, but she doesn't come all the way through. Even so, as I said, it is at least as good as most of the BEST Pop disks out there.
Don't shy away from getting this disk, if you like Eva, but don't expect magic from it. Just be thankful that she never went 'commercial,' because this disk is EXACTLY the type of pigeon-holed recording that the record industry was trying to push her into. |

 American Tune
Submitted on: 2003-08-25 |

| "American Tune" is superlative. Buy it! You won't regret your choice if you appreciate great musical creativity. "Drowning In A Sea Of Love" is Eva the 'rocker.' She never fails to give something new and creative. Eva is the best female vocalist of our time. Her appeal cuts across all age levels of admirers in many nations from Canada to Finland to Japan and even to the USA.Eva's music never grows old. Buy it and hear for yourself. |

 Do not bother with this one
Submitted on: 2003-05-11 |

| Just to add to the many reviews already written...this is a "departure" from Eva's other CDs and it is a road not worth taking in this case. The songs are just bad, and the vocals, although very good, do not bring the feeling and intensity of her other CDs. I just recently learned about Eva and am now an avid fan and was truly disappointed by this...but by no means think any differently about Eva - she clearly did not have her heart in this. |

 Unauthorized release of her music
Submitted on: 2002-08-29 |

| I recently read that this album was released over "strenuous objections" from Eva Cassidy's family. As someone previously commented, she never would have released these cuts to the public. I suppose there is always a market for unauthorized biographies and disc's, but it seems a shame that listeners "blame" Eva for poor quality of an album she had nothing to do with. |

VERY DISAPPOINTED
Submitted on: 2002-07-31 |

| If this had been the first Eva Cassidy album I purchased, I would never have bought another and would have missed knowing one of the most marvelous voices in music. The songs here are awful, and the production is very artificial. This album is a disservice to Eva Cassidy. I listened twice and then threw it away. Fortunately, I can go back to other Eva Cassidy albums which I play over and over. |
