Ten years after the release of Songbird, an album that has since gone platinum, this new Eva Cassidy collection brings together yet more magical moments from one of America's most lauded singer-songwriter legends. Embracing Cassidy's usual kaleidoscope of styles--from country and folk to Appalachian and Celtic--Somewhere is a set of covers that reminds us of the singer's consummate musicality and all-encompassing vocal skills. Opening with an acoustic version of Dolly … mehrParton's "Coat of Many Colors", the album flows mellifluously through a series of wonderful tunes: a re-arrangement of "My Love is Like a Red Red Rose" (by Robert Burns); a previously unreleased (and studio-enhanced) live version of the bluesy "Ain't Doin' Too Bad"; a take on Aretha Franklin's deeply soulful "Chain of Fools"; and versions of classic country tunes like "Walkin' After Midnight" and "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain". The overall mood fluctuates between hushed intimacy and summery exuberance. Of special mention are the final two songs, a gorgeous acoustic arrangement of Gershwin's "Summertime", and the soaring title track, which carries the listener off towards the horizon in true Cassidy style. --Danny McKenna weniger
