Eleanor McEvoy - I'd Rather Go Blonde

I'd Rather Go Blonde is the eight album in a 20-year career that has seen McEvoy establish herself as one of Ireland's most accomplished singer/songwriters. Never one to shy away from the big issues, this album sees McEvoy tackling themes such as alienation, hypocrisy, recent Irish history and romance. The songs are typified by a lyrical élan and often leavened with a touch of humor - "For Avoidance Of Any Doubt" features a plaintive soul using her solicitor to berate an absent lover for not returning calls, and the title track is built around a phrase that just made McEvoy laugh.
