MOSCODISC is proud to announce the September 12th release date
of Eleanor McEvoy's new album. As defined in it's title, 'Alone' is an album
of Eleanor and her songs through the medium of a single voice and a single
instrument, 11 songs written by her and a take on P.F. Sloan's 'Eve Of
Destruction'.
Says Eleanor "There was a time once when I was stranded in a long gap between
dates when a tour, on which I was the guest, had gone pear shaped. With time
to kill, I headed for the peace of The Grange, a studio tucked away in the Norfolk
countryside, that I knew from an earlier session. In the converted barn, alone
except for Dave the engineer I stepped up to the microphone and sang my songs.
My state of mind wasn't the brightest, but there was a certain something about
being in a good studio with no agenda, no deadline, no A&R pressure, it just came
out".
What came out are some very haunting performances, up close, personal, yet
timeless. This is Eleanor in a most intimate setting, running through the journey
of her writing and singing career. The collection includes 'Sophie', 'A Woman's
Heart' and 'You'll Hear Better Songs (Than This)'
