Eleanor McEvoy - Alone (2011)

Eleanor McEvoy’s 9th studio album Alone is a collection of 12 stripped-down solo numbers, including her single ‘You’ll Hear Better Songs (Than This)’, ‘A Woman’s Heart,’ and a take on P.F. Sloan’s ‘Eve Of Destruction’.

Says McEvoy, “There was a time when I was stranded in a long gap between tour dates and, with time to kill, I headed for the peace of The Grange; a small studio tucked away in the Norfolk countryside. 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 the studio with no agenda, no deadline, no pressure, it just came out.”
