Before Christmas of 2000, BBC's "Top of the Pops 2" aired a video of Cassidy performing "Over the Rainbow", which resulted in "Songbird" climbing steadily up the UK charts over the next few weeks. Just as ITV's "Tonight with Trevor McDonald" aired a feature on Cassidy, the album topped the chart. Shot at Blues Alley by a friend with a camcorder the same night the album was recorded, the video became the most requested video ever shown on "Top Of The Pops 2". Alexis Petridis in "The Guardian" wrote, "There's an undeniable emotional appeal in hearing an artist who you know died in obscurity singing a song about hope and a mystical world beyond everyday life".
