There are so many wonderful songs on her “Songbird” album. I’ve recommend it to people & bought it as gifts for yrs.

Songbird is absolutely beautiful. So tragic she passed at such a young age. A talent lost (almost) as we DO have her Songbird Album.

ME TOO!! Love that album..first heard of her when Kristi Yamaguchi used her version of FIELDS OF GOLD in some ice dancing exhibition and fell in love with it. Then I heard her story...Taken too young...

Eva Cassidy was a wonderful singer who was taken too early. "Songbird" is a great starter album - more a "Greatest Hits" collection. The Steve Hoffman mastered LP version offers the highest sonic quality.

However, her masterpiece album was "Live at Blues Alley"...and VERY HIGHLY recommended! A superb version of "Fields of Gold", "Stormy Monday" & an absolute treasure in "Tall Trees in Georgia"...and so many more!

My wonderful daughter gave me ‘Songbird’ for my birthday (or Father’s Day?).
Great music.
