Brilliant, but not the masterpiece of "Live at Blues Alley",
By
This review is from: American Tune (Audio CD)
New music from the Eva estate. This album will be a huge seller, and may outdo "Songbird". I will say this though, nothing to date surpasses "Live At Blues Alley" (the true Eva CD). Nevertheless, this is still a fantastic album."American Tune" is a collection of 10 songs featuring covers of some very humble tracks including Cyndi Lauper's "True Colours" and The Beatles "Yesterday". The title track of course being a Paul Simon cover.. Included on this album is another version of "God Bless the Child" which she did as a duet on her album with Chuck Brown titled "The Other Side". The highlights on the album are "The Water is Wide" and "You Take me Breath Away" - so beautiful they will bring tears to your eyes. This may be the last of Eva's recordings, so grab yourself a copy and disappear for awhile.

Eva Cassidy - Posthumous Musical Icon,
By Jenny (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: American Tune (Audio CD)
American Tune joins a formidable collection of albums that cannot be matched by any other female vocalist on this planet. Eva is in a class of her own. She brings her unique interpretations and style to any track she covers, and, in doing so, makes it her own.The Eva magic is there. A breathtaking interpretation of American Tune, the title track written by Paul Simon, is of the highest standard. Her musical prowess and interpretation of Simon's telling lyrics of the "American Dream", conveys both the triumphs and the heartaches of immigrants' expectations once they had arrived in their promised land, America. With her voice alone, Eva can convey to the listener both the hopes and the dreams of these new American citizens. American Tune is a powerful track but Eva lifts it to new heights. American Tune now belongs to Eva. Her name will become synonymous with American Tune - America's new Anthem. The runaway winner on the album is You Take My Breath Away. This is the most beautiful love song - lyrics by Claire Hamill 1973. The melody, the words and Eva's divine interpretation intoxicates you. I have found it impossible not to keep replaying the track, it's just so hauntingly beautiful to the ears, heart and soul. It is reminiscent of Somewhere Over the Rainbow and has that same special quality that brought Eva to the attention of the UK's music lovers. I expect You Take My Breath Away soon to be capturing the hearts of music lovers world-wide. This track is impossible not to fall in love with. You Take My Breath is pure Eva at her exceptional best. Eva Cassidy, musical phenomenon of the 21st Century.

Another jewel,
By "jhenry219" (Conway, AR United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: American Tune (Audio CD)
When I first discovered Eva Cassidy five years ago, through her CD Songbird, I wept to discover that she had passed away due to melanoma. Her voice was unlike any I had ever heard, at once powerful and filled with emotion, but still calming and soothing to the soul. Each time a new Eva Cassidy CD is released, I wonder how it could ever compare to the earlier work. I have never been disappointed. Time After Time, Imagine, and, now, American Tune are all outstanding. Taking tapes from studio work and live performances, American Tune, again demonstrates Eva's incredible range and versatility. It's difficult to choose a favorite track, but her covers of True Colors and Yesterday are incredible. For the longtime Eva fan, this will be another jewel for your collection. If you've never heard Eva, do yourself a favor, close your eyes and listen. She'll take your breath away.

Love This Album
I love this album and all Eva albums I have purchased. She was (and still is) so special and so very talented. She touches your heart in a very special way...

A beautiful collection of Eva songs
You Take My Breath Away - does. Water, Hallelujah, Bless the Child are also excellent. Molly is the only weak link. We are so lucky to have these recordings.

Eva is amazing, again and again
Eva Cassidy is one of those people who managed to get discovered for great talent even without the help of American Idol.

Better and better!
How can someone who has sadly departed keep getting better?! Eva Cassidy is one of those "lost voices" whose recognition came too late. What a shame...

I Wish She Were Still Here
Another great album by a great singer taken from us way too soon. A voice suited for different genres, but especially at home in jazz or the blues.

I have just about worn out this CD in the first 2 weeks after receiving it..She does a great job on all the cuts but I just love The Water is Wide and You Take My Breath Away..

A beautiful voice
I first heard Eva Cassidy when a local shopowner played one of her CD. I went to the website and discovered that Eva passed away some time back.

Disappointment from incorrect lyrics
I bought this CD specifically because Eva covers Simon & Garfunkel's "American Tune" and the preview on Amazon sounded good.
