if you listen to the timbre of her voice and the way she approaches first notes there is a striking resembltance to Eva Cassidy ( if you keep your eyes closed ). And she utilizes the same harmonies that cassidy does in "songbird", over-arching 5th. .. . so dear listener, trust your ears always. you are correct, in my view
This song is tight. Had never heard of her before our local paper The Flint Journal announced that she is appearing here at The Whiting Auditorium tomorrow, October 30, 2010 and she is a great songstress. The other recording she did with Hugh Masekela is great too.
