Eva Cassidy has a strong voice, with a softness as smooth as silk and an ability to writhe in anguish. I understand why she has fans.But I'm not one.In her albums Imagine,Live at Blues AlleyandTime After TimeEva delivers the same promising starts on every song. But her phrasing, particularly her use of volume, is too abrupt and broad. Songs sound bipolar, either stroking with smoky allure or punching with emotional angst. There ain't much in between. On the jazz classic, "You've Changed," Eva invites in with a soft croon, throwing in loudness for emphasis at points that capsize, rather than rock, the boat.I find Eva's approach disjointed and undesirable in most songs. Then again, there are a few songs where even Eva's weak musicality can't crush a great standard. I'd nevertheless prefer to listen to another artist sing.
