TOP SONGSTRESS RETURNS WITH CLASSIC ALBUM Eleanor McEvoy - Yola (MSMSACD113) Released: 18-2-02 Market Square Records Eleanor McEvoy came to notice when her own composition "Only A Woman's Heart" inspired the title for, and appeared on, the "A Woman's Heart" anthology album. "Yola" follows up 1999's Rupert Hine produced "Snapshots" album. Yola will be released on February 18 2002 via Market Square Records in the UK, distributed by Koch International. Yola is presented in "Super Audio" format compatible with SACD and CD players. Eleanor explains what Yola means "the journey brought us to South Wexford, a strange, flat, uncompromising landscape of often high winds and driving rain, and sometimes, huge and beautiful skies. A land cut off by ocean, sea and for centuries by culture. So isolated for so long, that from the time of early invasion, it kept and developed its own dialect, a tangent of old and middle English mixed with anglicised Irish. This dialect, now extinct apart from a few words still in use, was called Yola." Yola was produced by Eleanor and her pianist Brian Connor with co writing credits going to Lloyd Cole and Henry Priestman (The Christians). Yola is an album of new songs that are allowed to fend for themselves with a musical but uncluttered background brought about by the stylish playing of Liam Bradley on percussion, Eoghan O'Neil on bass and Brian Connor on piano.
