Eva Cassidy - Over The Rainbow - Live Acoustic Performance

[@RhondaHill-mi7cw]

I could listen to her sing all day and sing the same song over and over again. The one and only. Thanks for sharing.

*Rory.* Thanks 😊 I'm always blown away by how she can play and sing at virtuoso levels simultaneously, especially on a classic like this. When the vocal is such a major departure from the original, she always makes sure to preserve the heart of the song somehow, often in the accompaniment (no matter how intricate the finger picking). I hope your Mom gets a chance to watch these reactions. 🙂

I've lobbied online for Eva Cassidy to receive multiple awards: a Grammy for (Over the Rainbow, Fields of Gold, Songbird & several others), a CMA Award for (Tennessee Waltz), Jazz or Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for (San Francisco Bay Blues), or a Dove Award for (How Can I Keep From Singing). Something, my God, but apparently the clueless music industry does not know who she is, or either is still trying to categorize Eva Cassidy. It seems simple enough to me for them (music award powers-that-be) to create a "Multi-Genre Artist Award" and let Eva be the first to receive it posthumously. All of today's greatest singers know Eva is the Holy Grail of Vocalist. Even Adele said she used to rush home from school to listen to Eva Cassidy. It's time, people!!!

Finally! Was waiting for you to react to this. Damn it’s good. Edit: if I have 2 drinks in me and hear that non falsetto high note… damn.

Hearing her but screen is blank Rory...in the end the voice that counts...when my mum past on Eva helped a lot...may they both rest in peace. KEV

Your Mom has great taste. I love Eva Cassidy’s voice. But how tragic that she died so young, and so quickly, of melanoma. And she was only 33. If you haven’t heard it, listen to her cover of Sting’s “Fields of Gold”. It’s amazing.

You would like her cover of Tall Trees in Georgia. Different guitar style.

I recommend "Field of Gold" next.
