Back in time again today to 2008 and we are off to Ireland to visit Eleanor McEvoy and partake of her seventh studio album Love Must be Tough a mixture of covers and self penned selections.
Unlike most folk I didn't first discover her via Only A Woman's Heart. No, I first stumble across her when her quite tremendous cover of Mother's Little Helper popped up on a blog somewhere.
I've featured it before but it is so good that I am going to feature it again.
You are also getting the title track which she wrote with Johnny Rivers and her take on Butch Hancock's He Never Spoke Spanish to Me.
I love the way that her Irish accent occasionally makes an appearance
Eleanor McEvoy - Mother's Little Helper
Eleanor McEvoy - Love Must Be Tough
Eleanor McEvoy -He Never Spoke Spanish To Me
That first track is a bit too jazz-y for me. I'm surprised you like it!
ReplyDeleteReally like the vocals
DeleteThe only album I have of hers is the debut from the early 1990's, with which I became marginally obsessed at the time. I don't know why I didn't stick with her. Nice Butch Hancock cover.
ReplyDelete2-1 George!
ReplyDeleteI like the vocals too, but I'm going to side with George this time. Back to a tie, I'm afraid.
