25th Anniversary Limited Edition 45rpm 180g Vinyl 2LP!
Hi-Res Mastering Using Original Sources!
First Time Ever On Vinyl!
Recorded live at at the famous Blues Alley club in Washington, D.C., in January 1996. It was the last album recorded by Eva Cassidy before her death in November 1996.
Live at Blues Alley is an excellent showcase for her vocal talents and her ability to make even the most familiar tune uniquely her own... She sounds as if she had a ball performing the Irving Berlin number, while her subtle reading of the Louis Armstrong tune is nothing less than extraordinary... Ultimately, the slower songs are the most stirring, particularly her rendition of 'Fields of Gold.' Her tear-jerking version of the Sting tune could very well be one of the greatest cover songs ever recorded... Live at Blues Alley was the only solo album released during Eva Cassidy's lifetime, and it's an excellent introduction to a performer who never lived to witness the impact her voice made on her fans all over the world. -William Cooper, AllMusic She could sing anything and make it sound like the only music that mattered. -The Washington Post Features 25th Anniversary Edition 180g Vinyl Double LP 45rpm High-resolution mastering using original sources First time on vinyl Gatefold jacket Made in Germany Selections Side 1: Cheek To Cheek Stormy Monday Bridge Over Troubled Water Side 2: Fine And Mellow People Get Ready Blue Skies Tall Trees In Georgia Side 3 Fields Of Gold Autumn Leaves Honeysuckle Rose Side 4 Take Me To The River What A Wonderful World Oh, Had I A Golden Thread (Studio Recording)
