This is one of my favourite CD’s in my collection. You can read about Eva here and on the link at the bottom of the post, it’s sad to know that she died of cancer. I enjoy “Songbird” the most and my other favourite on this album is “Fields of Gold”, enjoy it here.
Eva Marie Cassidy was born on February 2nd, 1963. Music was introduced to Eva at an early age by her father, Hugh - who surrounded her with the voices of Pete Seeger, Buffy St. Marie and Ray Charles. He taught Eva how to play the guitar and she learned to accompany herself and her siblings (Anette, Margret and Dan) in a family music group.
As a teenager, Eva sang with friends in several bands and groomed her musical talents and performance skills. By the early 1990s she was doing studio work, performing with her friends - and then recorded “The Other Side” with Chuck Brown. Eva’s career turned a corner that would lead her to pursue more solo work. She developed a repertoire of “great” songs that inspired her, and would later be the reason we all remember her - not for songs she wrote, but for songs that she interpreted and made her own.
Eva’s voice was recorded at many of her performances at local Annapolis and Washington DC venues, and at studio sessions - little did we all know that this was a miracle. Eva’s young life was cut short on November 2, 1996, by cancer. She was surrounded by music her entire life - now she surrounds our lives with her music.

Fields of Gold is een van my heel gunsteling songs, ek luister gereeld daarna!! Maar dis die eerste keer wat ek die een hoor. Baie mooi!!
Nikita ek het nou net inspirasie by jou gekry vir my blog ek gaan ook ‘n link hier na toe sit. Dankie
Hi Wipneus! Dit was ‘n plesier…ek is gek oor hierdie cd…dis so verskriklik mooi!
What a pretty voice. She performed in the same area where I grew up, and possibly in the same places where my Mom and Dad would sometimes go out.
Hi Ray… and did you see her performing?
No, she was only two years older than me, and I moved from Maryland when I was 17.
If I saw her performing, she would have been at the stage in her career where she was singing in bands that perform at high school dances. And I didn’t go to very many of those.
hi Ray…. oh of course I didn’t think about age….
she’s got a lovely voice.
