Amazon.co.uk Review
At first sight, the pairing of Chuck Brown and Eva Cassidy was an unlikely one: Brown, self-styled "Godfather of Go-Go", a hoary veteran of the Washington D.C. jazz and blues scene, Cassidy an almost pathologically shy singer half his age with little experience either in the studio or on stage. But the resulting album--the inspiration of producer Chris Biondo, recorded in 1992--is a minor classic. Brown's gruff, bluesman's voice is the perfect foil to Cassidy's soulful, expressive singing: he growls, she soars. Cassidy could sing any number of styles with equal conviction, but her take on jazz and R&B was arguably her strongest suit: raunchy, bluesy and saturated with emotion. The songs are a mix of standards and wannabe standards. The ballads--"God Bless The Child", "Dark End Of The Street"--stand out, with Cassidy's own, quite magical arrangement of "Over The Rainbow" topping all for sheer emotional power. Chuck Brown is a capable jazz singer, but the selling point here is, of course, Eva Cassidy, whose extraordinary talent is only just beginning to attract the recognition it deserved during her tragically short life. --Mark Walker

I am a big Eva fan and was delighted when i found this album of duets with the wonderful Chuck Brown. They sing together with such ease and you can just hear the fun they were having making this fantastic music.
This album can always put me in a good mood. A must buy.

This was the first Eva cd I bought - the shop had sold out of the other (then four) cds or I would have bought them all - just from seeing her on TOTP2 in December 2000. I have since bought all her cds and have to say they are brilliant -BUT this one is my favourite. I love every track. I love their choice of songs, it is a fabulous cd.

Driving home in the rain one night, Over the rainbow came on the radio, it gave me goosebumps. Eva's exquisite rendition of this song had me in tears. She has the voice of an angel. She wass so versatile in her ability to sing r&b, jazz and could turn her voice to almost any type of music, adding her own innimitable style to each track. Chuck Brown gives praise to her on this album, and rightly so, she does him proud. I wish we could have more of her work, I can never hear too much of Eva - she's wonderful. I own a copy of all her albums and everyone is brilliant - this is different to her normal soulful ballads, but nonetheless an exciting album that makes you want to keep playing it.
