Editorial Reviews :
Eva Cassidy fans surely feel something akin to relief when another cache of tapes is opened for release. The singer's 1996 death at the age of 33, after all, rendered her output finite in the saddest and most frustrating way. American Tune's modus operandi is similar to previous Cassidy CDs in its mix of standard repertoire (here, everything from 'Yesterday' to 'God Bless the Child' and Ray Charles's 'Hallelujah I Love [Him] So' rubs shoulders) and fine, less obvious choices (Joe Simon's early-'70s soul hit 'Drowning in the Sea of Love'). The sometimes pedestrian backing does little to spoil the pleasure of Cassidy's pure tone and the surprises she's able to wring from the material--on the Charles tune, she even suggests a distaff Lyle Lovett. She'd no doubt be pleased to know that tracks uncovered at this point now sound like, well, notes from a missed, much-loved friend. --Rickey Wright
