Imagine

Product Information

I Can Only Be Me” is a Stevie Wonder song from the movie soundtrack School Daze by Spike Lee, a filmmaker whom Eva greatly admired. Studio recordings “Still Not Ready” and “I Can Only Be Me” are, oddly perhaps, the least successful cuts. Eva’s starkly moving tribute to John Lennon’s masterpiece, “Imagine”, her “true to the original spirit” expansion of the country/pop standard “Tennessee Waltz” and her diva version of Stevie Wonder’s “I Can Only Be Me”. The song was written by Paul Anka and recorded by Buddy Holly, but I believe Eva learned it from a Linda Ronstadt album (she also used to sing “Desperado”).

Imagine may not be the best way to discover Eva Cassidy for the first time, but established fans will warmly welcome this new collection.

The recording quality varies noticeably from track to track, and there are a few awkward fade-outs–presumably to remove audience noise–but still the sparkling music comes across quite vividly. to feel a shiver of delight at another effortlessly ideal cover, or listen to her laid-back “You’ve Changed” from the Blues Alley sessions to experience more of her soulful jazz.

Chris Biondo tells me that this recording was one of the earlier ones that he and Eva made together, and one of the first with Lenny Williams on keyboard.However, if you would like to, you can change your settings at any time using the Change cookie settings link in the Special menu.
