Eleanor McEvoy is an impressive debut album from
McEvoy, proving that she is not only capable of fusing contemporary folk and Celtic music, but that she's a singer/songwriter with a graceful, individual voice. Both the music and the songs have a quietly powerful beauty, which makes it no wonder that the album helped
McEvoy win the Irish Record Industry Award for Best New Artist. [Originally released in 1997 on Geffen, Eleanor McEvoy reappeared in 2003 through Blue Dandelion, remastered and with four bonus tracks.] ~ Thom Owens
