Blix Street Records announce the release of ‘The Best of Eva Cassidy’, a definitive new collection of 20 of the late singers best-loved and most acclaimed songs. Having achieved 3 UK No.1 albums, a UK No.1 duet single, and with global sales now in excess of 10 million, this is the first time the cream of Eva’s repertoire has appeared together.
Eva’s music has proven timeless and universal. Crossing all boundaries – musical, cultural, geographical – her voice survived and is finding new listeners every day in every corner of the earth. These 20 defining performances document Eva Cassidy’s musical legacy for the ages.
The lead track of the album is a previously unreleased version of Claire Hamill’s delicately intimate love song You Take My Breath Away. While a 1993 ‘demo’ version of the song concluded Eva’s American Tune album this previously unheard recording was one of several work -in progress tracks at the time of her passing in 1996. Delivered by a more musically evolved and confident Eva, her flawless vocal performance reaches a new level. With the aide of new digital technologies Eva’s former bandmates Chris Biondo and Lenny Williams recently set to work sonically enhancing Eva’s original guitar/vocal studio recording.
Maximizing the sound quality of Eva’s vocal tour de force, the two augmented the
product with piano, double bass and a string quartet, creating the definitive version of what’s certain to become one of Eva’s best-loved performances.
“Hearing Eva perform my song was probably the most important moment of my career. I felt validated as a songwriter, an indescribable feeling. When I heard how a new version was to feature as the lead track on the new “Best Of” album I was literally over the moon. Eva will always mean the world to me, her beautiful voice will stay with me forever.” Claire Hamill
