A new edition of Johan Bakker's biography on musician Eva Cassidy.
The Eva Cassidy phenomenon began too late for the woman herself to
enjoy the fame, although whether she would have enjoyed it is
another matter. This shy and sensitive singer preferred drawing and
painting to performing in front of audiences and seemed
disenchanted by the music business before she truly cracked it.
What is beyond doubt, however, is the power of the recordings she
left behind. In this thoughtful and probing biography, Johan Bakker
explored her brief performing career and the recognition that came
after her death at the age of 33. Before she became famous in the
UK and Europe, Eva Cassidy had been a local performer in and around
Washington DC. Including interviews with Eva's friends, colleagues
and family, this book traces her life, idealism and eventual
disillusionment. Combined, their stories confirm that while
everyone who knew Eva loved her in some way, few truly understood
her. Through it all her musical spirit still shines, making this
biography both a searching analysis and a warm commemoration of a
uniquely talented young woman.
