I'd Rather Go Blonde features eleven new songs, nine of which were penned by McEvoy, one with Beautiful South man Dave Rotheray and finally a cover of Sam Cooke's Good Times. This limited edition release also includes Take a Little Look with Polish a capella band Banana Boat. I'd Rather Go Blonde is the eighth album in a twenty 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!
