Australia's Music Charts 1988–2010 (pdfed.). Mt. Martha, VIC, Australia: Moonlight Publishing. p.52. LIVE AT BLUES ALLEY, the only solo album released during the late singer Eva Cassidy's short lifetime, released on December 3, 2021 as a specially remastered 25th Anniversary Edition from Blix Street Records. Available in CD and digital formats as well as a 180g 45rpm double LP set created to fully showcase the recordings' phenomenal sound. This marks the recording's first appearance on vinyl.

Crossing all boundaries – musical, cultural, geographical – her voice survived and is finding new listeners every day in every corner of the earth.
