Somewhere

CD-Charts > Music > Traditional Folk
by: Eva Cassidy

Release Date August 26, 2008
In her much too short career, it never mattered whether Eva Cassidy sang sang blues, jazz, rock, country, folk, or traditional songs. Her voice had an unparalleled emotional reach. And no matter what she sang, she always sounded like the "real deal". Never like someone steeped in one musical tradition trying to sing in another.

While Cassidy left this world much too soon, the body of work that remains is absolutely amazing and would have been so had we not have heard any more from her. The "Somewhere" CD only adds to that legacy. Let it sufice to say that it stands with "Songbird" and all of the "Blix Street" releases that have gone before.

According to the evacassidy dot org website "Songbird" has gone platinum, in the ... Read More:

If you have seen the movie, then you know the music is great! This a fun CD to put in when your driving around with the top down on your convertible or riding in your jeep/old bronco. Parts of the movie come to mind when you hear the songs. Keeps you smiling.

Abigail Washburn & the Sparrow Quartet

Release Date May 20, 2008
I was interested because Bela Fleck was in the group. There was not enough of Bela, and far too much of Abigail whose voice and songs totally turned me off.

Still Crooked

CD-Charts > Music > Traditional Folk
by: Crooked Still

Release Date June 24, 2008

Two trains approach from the opposite directions: one is carrying a brilliant string quartet of the finest young classical musicians from the most demanding music schools. The other train is bearing a fantastic bluegrass band with one of the greatest banjo players of the time.

They collide head-on.

And yet miraculously and mysteriously, out of the inferno strides five young survivors. Somehow spared by a higher power of both darkness and light to create a sound greater than the sum of the parts.

That's Crooked Still.

Think about this-- when The Boss was putting together his Seeger Sessions band, he called Greg Liszt ... Read More:
