Description
Renowned for her intimate, emotional and uplifting performances, celebrated Irish musician Eleanor McEvoy releases her 10th studio album, If You Leave.
For the sessions, McEvoy recruited the talentsof Grammy award-winning songwriter Jimmy Smyth on guitar, keyboard player James Delaney (Chuck Berry, Clannad), bassists Paul Moore (Van Morrison) & Eoghan ONeill (Chris Rea, Moving Hearts) and drummer Des Lacey (Katie Melua), with special guests Brian Connor on piano and David Agnew on oboe.
McEvoy is also joined by guest vocalists Mary Coughlan, Gemma Hayes and Hermione Hennessy with Sharon Shannon on the accordion for the song Secret of Living. The song was written especially by McEvoy for a run of nine sell-out shows at The Olympia in Dublin to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the album A Womans Heart, the third biggest-selling album in Irish chart history which helped to establish McEvoy as a star in her home country. McEvoy said, I thought I should write a song for all the performers who were going to be featured in the show, something like The Outlaws or The Traveling Wilburys, where everyone gets a chance to sing.
