The Live at Blues Alley they reference in the article is a beautiful album, recorded on a night when she had a heavy cold not long before her death. Her version of Tall Trees in Georgia is simply beautiful.

Her covers of Over the Rainbow and Fields of Gold were big radio hits back in the day. Both released after she died I think.
Fields of Gold is spine tingling in that your blood seems made of sparkling water kind of way

You never heard her version of Fleetwood Mac’s Songbird?
They haven’t played it in Gregg’s yet.

I may have been oblivious.
Never heard of her before tbh.
You must have been in England at that time, Eva Cassidy was absolutely huge here in Ireland after her death, billboards and television ads for her records, Fields of Gold played on a loop on the radio stations, it was madness
Her music is at every second funeral
No I was in Ireland.
Mostly working or in the boozer.
I’ve been listening to her there working.
Beautiful voice, but you couldn’t be at it for long.
New ABBA album, not great but not a disappointment either.
They played a bit of an Irish themed song on Morning Ireland there this morning about a boy who left Kilkenny. It was beyond brutal. I’d be a big fan of classic ABBA but there is an element of the Emperor’s new clothes about this iteration of the group.
There’s also this…

That’s a very ageist comment in fairness
We listened to the extended (10 minute) version of All too Well this morning,
Her best song, a lyrical masterpiece

It’s fantastic.
Is it now?
The doubled A sided single, or whatever it was, was fantastic I thought.
Absolute scenes
