The Best of the Best - By: Graceann Macleod, 22 Aug 2008 
I was heartbroken to hear that Eva Cassidy herself considered Live at Blues Alley to be a lesser work. I think it is her best album & it is the one I reach for first when I need an "Eva Fix." Each song is an individual treasure, & together, they form artistry that continues to make me mourn the loss of one of the 20th Century's finest voices, & people.
fantastic - By: , 08 Mar 2004 This is without a doubt my favourite albumin the world. I fellin love with it the minute i heard it & was blown away (as always) with eva's amazing voice.
This album really does make you wish you could have been there listening to her live.
Everyone i play this album to is equally amazed & i am spreading the Eva fan club more & more every day!
Buy it.
Fantastic - By: , 11 Feb 2004 Amazing, i could listen to this album over & over & over. I listened to it for the first time yesterday & was completely blown away. Eva's version of 'Bridge over Troubled Water' is fantastic & left shivers down my spine. The whole album sends you to another place leaving you with an amazing feeling.
Blues Skies shining on ME !!! - By: William, 09 Sep 2003 "Live at Blues Alley" is the essential Eva album! If you are yet to discover her, this is the best place to start, because it features the unedited versions of "fields of gold" & "people get ready".
What I love most about this album is her outstanding versions of "Blues Skies" & "Cheek to Cheek". She makes them her own.
The haunting " Tall Trees of Georgia" will send shivers right up your spine. And the inclusion of the studio track "Oh, had I a golden thread" is pure gold. I love this song, & it highlights her vocal range so beautifully that it makes me tearful every time.
And yes, I am envious of anyone who actually saw this concertin 1996.
IMHO this one is better than "Songbird" - By: , 23 Aug 2003 This is a fabuous album; better even than "Songbird". I know Eva didn't want it released & that she had a cold but WOW it really is a brilliant album, great voice, great band, great arrangements.
