This is a high-caliber album. The songs, lyrics, music, performance; all are wonderful. "A Glass Unkissed" makes for a great beginning song. Other standouts are: "Trapped Inside" "Where is the healing?" "Biochemistry" "Twelve Days (the weatherman)" and "Whisper A Prayer To The Moon" One of my fondest wishes is to hear Eleanor and her band live in concert perform "The Fire Overheard" I'd love to hear that Celtic jamming! This is one of my very favorite CDs, recommended to me by a dear friend.

The album is really great and please check the 13th song: it's not displayed and you can't find its lyrics in the CD, but "Famine" is a song one just can't forget.

My favorite song from this album is ** Whisper a Prayer to the Moon ** ~~this one song makes it worthwhile to buy the album! I'd never heard of Eleanor McEvoy until I heard this song played in the 1998 irish movie "The Nephew," which was produced by and co-stars Pierce Brosnan. The rest of the songs on this album are pretty good ~~ "Trapped Inside" is catchy. I like Eleanor's album Snapshots slightly better than this album. All in all, her music reminds me of Sinead Lohan and I recommend this album to new fans. I hope she gets some airplay on the radio!

I love this album, every song on it. It's very heartfelt. Sometimes, she sings of things I know nothing about, but I feel them through her. It's interesting. Some of what she sings about is painful, but it's truthful at the same time. I think she makes me a better person.

The tracks on this album are ones that reach out and grab you-- both ballads and upbeat tunes are pure quality. Some of the instrumentation provides a distinctly Celtic sound to the music, but it's still rock/pop to the core. Except perhaps, that the lyrics are intelligent, moving, and even funny, through and through. Wish there was more available from this artist-- she is truly an equal to the likes of the ranks of the Lilith Fair performers.

Fantastic performers. I had the pleasure of seeing Eleanor & her band open up for Paula Cole a few years back when she was promoting this album. FABULOUS live performance, excellent musicianship by ALL, and wonderful songs. This album however, sounds as though it was produced in someone's walk-in closet. Horrible, and this weighs down the lovely work it contains. You have no choice, however, if you want to hear the songs, you have to just try and ignore this. But definitely get this CD. It's worth it! I give 5 stars to the musicians, 1 star to the production quality.

Eleanor McEvoy is an Irish singer/songwriter and this is a likable album of rock, comparable to, say, a less alternative variation on the Cranberries' first album. The definite highlight is the rocker "Precious Little" ("Precious little in your life is yours by right or won without a fight"). Otherwise, it's all pleasant and entertaining to listen to, yet there's very little here that doesn't sound like I've heard it before from someone else. McEvoy's voice is like a less-distinctive, thinner version of Sinead O'Connor or the Cranberries' O'Riordan. The guitar playing is fully competent but generic. Even the "variety" in the arrangements seems to have come from a playbook -- okay, this song will have strings, this one brass, this one harpsichord -- rather than from inspired production. Other than "Precious Little", the most original cut musically is the ballad "The Weatherman". Other pretty good songs are "Biochemistry" and "Whisper a Prayer to the Moon".

Great Lyrics and songs that really moved and touched me. I highly recomend it

I play this album all the way through and enjoy it every time. I had the fortune of seeing Eleanor play with her brother at a free show in Boston at South Station in 1996. I thought she was great and can't wait to get my hands on everything else she's done.

Spectacular, this woman writes beautiful lyrics. Her music has spunk and heart, somewhere between folk and pop. Check out "Kiss to the Mood" and "fire overhead". There is not one person to whom I have recommended this album who did not love it and made it one of their favorite records.
