Description
Johnny McEvoy has no peer when it comes to singing Irish ballads. In 1966 he became Ireland's first folk pin-up when he had a huge hit with,"Muirsheen Durkin". Fifty-six years later, he is still at the top of his game and this outstanding collection of songs reinforces how much his soft sensuous voice and his brooding good looks, are still a part of the charisma that he exudes to this very day.
