When it came time to record the Alone album,
Eleanor headed to a studio tucked away in the Norfolk countryside. "In the
converted barn, I stepped up to the microphone and sang my songs," recalls
Eleanor. "My state of mind wasn't the brightest, but there was something
about being in the studio with no agenda, deadline, or pressure, it just
came out."
The product of those tranquil sessions resulted in her current album Alone
that includes incredibly haunting performances - up close, personal, and
timeless. This is Eleanor McEvoy in her most intimate setting, running
through the journey of her writing and singing career.
McEvoy is one of Ireland's most accomplished female singer songwriters. Her
life as a musician began at the age of four. She has released albums on the
Geffen and Columbia record labels and continues to tour the world over to
her ever increasing legion of fans.
Eleanor's seductive and compelling Irish accent adds an emotional punch to
her quirky, perceptive songs, ranging from love ballads and story-telling to
ironic, amusing and all-consuming observations on the irony of everyday
life.
Respected as a fine multi-instrumentalist
(violin, guitar, piano) in both traditional and contemporary music, she is
best known for Only A Woman's Heart, the title track of an anthology album
that's gone on to be the best selling recording in Irish chart history. |
