This is another superbly produced and crafted album from one of Ireland's most accomplished female singer-songwriters - it's a very fine collection crossing over into many musical styles - Celtic, country, folk, jazz and blues - and makes for intensely rewarding listening. Eleanor McEvoy's voice has you enthralled from the first moment - from the mellow piano and trumpet of the opening track You'll Hear Better Songs (Than This) to the album's haunting closing song Anach Cuain. McEvoy's voice has a raw, bluesy, pure edge that completely hooks you from the start. The title song is pretty apt - you may well hear 'better' songs than these, but few will be so superbly crafted and exquisitely produced.

Snapshots, Eleanor McEvoy's third studio album, originally released Columbia Records in 1999. McEvoy's primary goal was to make Snapshots her most song-oriented album to date. Toward that goal, McEvoy hooked up with producer Rupert Hine (who worked with Stevie Nicks, Tina Turner, Suzanne Vega, and Duncan Sheik). This is McEvoy's only album on which she does not play violin. The extensive use of drum loops on the album was a complete change in style from McEvoy's previous work. Columbia Records had not been prepared for these changes and not long after the release of Snapshots McEvoy was dropped; her subsequent recordings were on independent labels.

Love Must Be Tough is Eleanor McEvoy's seventh studio album. Unlike her previous six albums, which, with the exception of a few tracks, were written solely by McEvoy, Love Must Be Tough is a mixture of covers/interpretations and self-penned selections. The album's theme of turning 40 amid mid-life crises is exemplified by the opening track, a fresh interpretation of The Rolling Stones song "Mother's Little Helper". The following eleven tracks continue this theme right up to the closing track, which takes a new look at Nick Lowe's rock classic "I Knew the Bride". In October 2008 Love Must Be Tough was named Record of the Year by Hi-Fi+ Magazine.

Out There is Eleanor McEvoy's sixth studio album. McEvoy, a multi-instrumentalist, produced and arranged Out There, and played all instruments on the album and supplied all vocals. The album includes ten new compositions by McEvoy plus two co-writes with the Beautiful South's Dave Rotheray. On track 5, "Vigeland's Dream", McEvoy eloquently describes a walk she once took in Vigeland Sculpture Park which is a part of Frogner Park (Frognerparken), a public park located in the borough of Frogner, in Oslo, Norway. The album also includes an updated version of Marvin Gaye's classic "Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)" as well as a new version of Lowell George's "Roll Um Easy".

Celtic pop singer/songwriter Eleanor McEvoy was born in Dublin on January 20, 1967, beginning piano lessons at age four; she took up the violin two years later, and as a teen joined the Junior Irish Youth Orchestra. Upon graduating college, McEvoy was tapped for the National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland, but after four years she quit to pursue a career as a pop performer; in 1992, her "Only a Woman's Heart" highlighted the anthology A Woman's Heart, which went on to become the best-selling album in Irish chart history…

"If You Leave…" features eight new songs by Eleanor McEvoy as well as four covers. Stylistically, the album is a throwback to 60s blues and features Jimmy Smyth on guitar, James Delaney on keyboard, Paul Moor and Eoghan O'Neill on bass, and Des Lacey on drums.
