Eva Cassidy: American Tune

By GRAHAM REID

(Herald rating: * * * *)

Don't panic, she's still dead. This fifth posthumous release by Cassidy (1963-96) mixes a broad cross-section of covers (True Colours, the Paul Simon title track, God Bless the Child and Yesterday among them) with "live" tracks (ie live in the studio, no audience).

Consistent across all styles from Fairport Convention's Dark Eyed Molly to Ellington's Don't Mean A Thing - the r'n'b Bonnie Raitt-styled Drowning in the Sea of Love is the standout - this won't disappoint her growing legion of fans.
