Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain....

"It is astounding that the unfavorable and wrong-headed March 29 "review" above has remained for almost five months the sole, unchallenged customer review posted here concerning this truly remarkable recording. (Will some others who have appreciated Eleanor McEvoy's outstanding contributions to music please weigh in here and raise the average to nigh 5 stars, where it certainly should be?) "Early Hours" is a true joy to hear, but not for casually playing in the background. Attention must be paid, and well-spent will be your time in doing so. I am apparently not alone in these opinions, as a recent Irish Music Magazine Readers Poll voted "Early Hours" as Best Contemporary Album 2004-2005. Please remember that, after you receive the copy that you are just about to order, the liner notes in respect of each cut are required reading.



My only complaint is that I find the intro to "I'll Be Willing" to be reminiscent of "Mood Indigo", and it puts me in the wrong state of mind for the upbeat, catchy tune which follows. Apart from that itty-bitty peeve, this recording (both from the artist's side and the audio-engineering side) is perfect."

"This is without no doubt a five star cd, as her previous works. Eleonor Mcevoy is an excellent interpreter, composer, songwriter,singer. She really has a beautiful voice and also her lyrics are very well written. One thing that I appreciate in her works is her versatility, she can performs different styles witout lossing her esence."

Disappointing

"I'm not sure exactly what I would call McEvoy's music, but I guess it's mostly rock, or folk rock. Usually her music is entertaining and upbeat.



I've liked McEvoy's other CDs, like 'Snapshots' and 'Eleanor McEvoy', but this CD was a disappointment. The songs were rather dull, none differing from each other very much in tune or beat. The only ones I even listen to are Days Roll By, I'll Be Willing, Slipping Away, and At the End of the Day.



Instead of buying this CD, I recommend buying a different CD of McEvoy's, or try some of Mary Black, Maura O'Connell, Sinead Lohan, or June Tabor's music. You can sample many good artists with both of the 'A Woman's Heart' CDs (where I learned about all artists above as well as Eleanor McEvoy). Good luck."
