Some singers need an audience to bring out their best. Not Eva Cassidy. The recording studio was Eva's natural musical home where she was free from the pressures of live performance. She spent countless hours there recording,rehearsing, even helping to paint the walls and glue on acoustic tiles. Band rehearsals would be held there and Chris Biondo was in the habit of running a tape whilst guitarist Keith Grimes, a perfectionist like Eva, would take home the tapes to study the performances.
Since the release of last year's Imagine album, Keith discovered rehearsal tapes that had long been packed away and sent them to Blix Street's Bill Straw. Five of the ten tracks on American Tune come from that source. A couple of these are just Eva and Keith, cut while they were working out repertoire for their duo gigs. The remaining five tracks consist of three live recordings, one studio demo and Yesterday, which was one of the earliest songs that Eva recorded with Chris Biondo.
None of the surviving recordings was multi-track and therefore few corrections could be made for errors or glitches. In most cases what you hear now is how the songs were recorded, in one take and without editing. Yet there is no doubt that these informal recordings capture Eva Cassidy's magic in its purest form - her remarkable voice never fails to send a shiver down the spine or bring a tear to the eye.
