It's actually very simple. I don't care what you believe. Take it from me, I don't believe in any of it. I don't believe in any nativity: the camels, the sheep, the kings, those hooded people, Jesus as a baby, Jesus as a non-pot smoking adolescent, Jesus as a conservative and voting adult, Jesus as the antithesis of capitalist, Jesus as ascetic. I don't believe in the twelve superheroes, the Grateful Dead's Eleven, the ten commandments, the nine Supreme Judges, the eightfold path, the seven sins, the six journalistic questions, the five Russian composers, the four leaved clovers, the three [...]
Grace Griffith , multi-award winning American vocalist, who helped discover and inspired Eva Cassidy , is on the brink of a UK breakthrough. "My Life", the debut single from Grace Griffith's seminal album Sailing , is setting up to become a UK hit. Despite living with Parkinson's disease for over 13 years Grace continues to write and record music including this critically acclaimed record. After Grace's music was first championed by folk guru Mike Harding , her poignant and stirring "My Life" track was noticed and broadcast by fellow [...]
I had big plans to share some thoughts about my conflicted love for America this year on the anniversary of our birth as a nation. But looking in the archives, I see I've written it before: both last year, when we mused upon the complexity of patriotism in a modern age, and in our first year, at a time when our national discourse was increasingly polarized by the impending presidential election. Our Single Song Sunday from last year remains live, and I encourage you to head back into the archives for 10 [...]
Eva Cassidy : True Colors [ purchase ] This seems to have turned into a week for confessions, which is probably my fault for my choice of the transition song. So you can go back over my posts from last week, and you will find the explanations of my lies in bold. Also, I am not afraid to admit that, when I first heard Cyndi Lauper, I really liked her, and I still do. The entire album She's So Unusual was quirky heaven. I was eager for more, but the follow-up [...]
Eva Cassidy has done it again. Simply Eva , the latest collection from the late singer/songwriter rose to #4 on the Official UK Albums charts yesterday becoming her fifth Top 5 posthumous release in the UK. It's such a shame Cassidy passed away so young. Who knows the kind of magic she'd be making in the studio today, but at least we have an entire catalog of music to keep her on the radio and in our hearts. Not only is Cassidy proving to [...]
Twenty years ago this fall my wife-to-be and I broke into a deserted chapel at our college to sit by the piano and make this song our own, staking our claim for the future and for each other through natural harmony and a shared sense of adventure. And now, if we have a song, it is this: a traditional English ballad which we knew before we met, that jumped out at us from the page that sunny afternoon, and, in doing so, guided us to forge ourselves as something more than the sum of our parts. [...]
It's been a long, busy weekend, and it'll be a long night, too, with end-of-term grading due in the morning and a thick stack of final exams to go through first. I've got a great Covered in Kidfolk post half-drafted, complete with a contest give-away for Putumayo Kids' new acoustic lullaby CD, but it will have to wait; for now, here's a taste of Valentine's past, originally posted in 2008, to remind you to start making plans for next Monday. I spent all [...]
Simply Eva is the first album of 2011 that I expect to see on my best of the year list. Set for release on January 25th by Blix Street Records, the album features previously unreleased material by the late, great Eva Cassidy . What sets Simply Eva apart is that it is composed entirely of acoustic versions of Eva's best known recordings. Accompanied only by the soft strum of her guitar, Eva's extraordinary voice is beautifully displayed in this exquisite collection. From her tender [...]

Eva Cassidy
I noticed while perusing the local music listings that Chuck Brown, "The Godfather of Go-Go," is performing this weekend at Blues Alley in Washington D.C. While the musical style he created was the forerunner to other great contemporary styles, there was a different reason why the concert listing caught my attention. I couldn't help but remember a young artist whose stunning talent caught Brown's attention many years ago: Eva Cassidy. She had graced the same Blues Alley stage at the height of her short career to create a live album that would display to the world the pristine voice that [...]

Eva Cassidy - Simply Eva
"Definitions become virtually useless to describe the singing of Eva Cassidy." - LA Times Eva Cassidy tragically died of melanoma in 1996, virtually unknown outside of a devoted group of fans and admirers near her home in Washington, DC. Five years later, however, Cassidy's music became an international phenomenon via a compilation of tracks titled Songbird , a now-definitive version of "Over the Rainbow" that became a massive hit in the U.K. (and beyond) and a groundswell of belated critical acclaim. Suddenly, seemingly overnight, the world knew of Cassidy's stunning [...]
