Summertime ... and the living is easy

Recently, I have rekindled my interest in music appreciation. Janis Joplin's version of Summertime is a long time favourite of mine .... so full of angst and pain that only Janis could portray.

I was at a friend's place couple nights ago to appreciate his audiophile setup and heard Eva Cassidy's version from the album Somewhere. Her velvety smooth voice is a total contrast to Janis's raspy "emo-overdrive" vocal; and those crescendo in certain part of the song gave me "pleasure" goose bumps. The song was totally re-defined for me.
