METHOD ACTOR REVIEW

The Washington Post, 1988

From the "On the Town" column in the Weekend section, September 2, 1988:

Takin' Stock of Unknown Rock

METHOD ACTOR:  Eva Cassidy is the noteworthy singer fronting this Gaithersburg quartet -- she also did the strikingly eccentric etchings on the cover.  Cassidy's got a cool, otherworldly tone on songs like "Look Into My Eyes," and when she multitracks her vocals she sounds like Heart's Ann Wilson minus the histrionics; there's a faintly metallic Grace Slick tinge to the neopsychedelic "How Will It End." The band, led by David Lourim, who writes the songs, plays the fluid guitar lines and adds the washes of keyboards, creates sometimes dreamy ("When It's Too Late"), sometimes playful ("Laugh With Me"), backdrops.   Another find.
