Twelve years after her untimely death, the gifted eclectic vocalist Eva Cassidy continues to provide an object lesson on just how a song--any song--should be sung. SOMEWHERE is the latest posthumous release of previously unreleased recordings recorded by the Canadian singer in the '90s, including the title track, a rare Cassidy original which closes the album in a Broadway-like orchestral flourish. Overall, the otherwise spare production sounds highly contemporary. The crack backing band and/or lone accompanying acoustic guitar are fresh and energetic as the always soulful Cassidy tackles a rootsy, characteristically varied set, from Dolly Parton's "Coat Of Many Colors" and Willie Nelson's "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" to Aretha Franklin's "Chain Of Fools" and "Won't Be Long," with time out for traditional folk songs like Robert Burns's "My Love Is Like a Red Rose" and John Renbourn's "A Bold Young Farmer." It's a moving testament to an artist cut down much too soon in her career and in life.
