Here's a post I made in EDF about Eva Cassidy. This is more of her bluesy or jazzy side, but these are some of my favorite tracks.

One absolute vocal monster who hasn't been mentioned yet is Eva Cassidy. It's a real shame she died young and before she really got the acclaim she deserves. She just kills on some of her recordings:
Wade in the Water -- this is pretty easily the best recording of this song that I've ever heard.
Honeysuckle Rose -- when it was written back in the early days of jazz, this was a fairly quick hot jazz number. I love her down-tempo change of pace.
Stormy Monday -- I can't honestly say that this is the best recording I've heard of this particular song. It's been done so many times by so many legends. However, she still hangs with them.
Time After Time

I'm also going to add another that wasn't in my EDF post.
Her recording of Songbird is a deeply moving track from her pop side. This track is a must-listen.
