Fields of Gold by Eva Cassidy
Maddy's always building her repertoire. Right now she's working on Fields of Gold - originally written and performed by Sting, but sung so much more movingly by Eva Cassidy. It's the kind of song that won't let you go:

I LOVE Eva Cassidy. Her song, Songbird, was sung at our wedding and her version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow is beautiful!!

Another Eva Cassidy fan here! I read online that Sting preferred her version of "Fields of Gold" to his own (although I can't find a link to the actual interview). I also love "Wade in the Water" and "People Get Ready" from Songbird.

I have been a huge Eva Cassidy fan for years. Her singing brings me to tears almost every time I her her crystal voice. She was taken from us far too young!
