Legendary Irish singer-songwriter Johnny McEvoy performing "The Town I Left Behind" .....in the Summer of 2010. He dedicated this song about his hometown to his brother Tom in the audience. Tom McEvoy is seen at the end of the video.
A fantastic ballad by a great performer...He recounts missing his town in Ireland...This loneliness is broken when he thinks about the town, the people and the memories.. He sings about his present day living in St. Louis..His happiness through his children and how the land has been good to him..A Beautiful Ballad sang by a bashful balladeer..Great Work!
A rare talent, i spent hours listening to johnny when younger and he helped me through some tough times, saw him perform live with my brother michael at the opera house in cork.
