This record received rave reviews from the British audiophile press. "I guess my musical journey started with my first stage performance aged four, as a singer in my sister’s band, for a national musical competition. The musical path, once started, has taken me through piano and violin grades, through musical theory and college. The path then split, by day through symphony orchestra and string quartets, by night through clubs, recording sessions, backing musician duties…onward through albums, record companies, bands, buses, planes…I felt some convergence of these paths when I fell in step with Brian Connor, the piano player, with a history as diffuse and confusing as mine. We went from working together on tour, to working together on these songs. The journey brought us to southeast 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 form 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. It is this name that I have borrowed as the title for this album, Yola." - Eleanor McEvoy

"Back-to-basics triumph for the icon of Irish womanhood, named after arcane Wexford dialect... Backed by three superb musicians, the live-in-home-studio performances are beautifully restrained, and the vibe of both writing and sound has a warmth and contentedness redolent of gazing through rain-lashed stone-cottage windows in Wexford - which is, as it happens, pretty much how it was." - Colin Harper, Mojo Magazine, November 2001.
