I think you're speaking of Cait O'Riordan.  She left the Pogues after
"Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash" (to marry Elvis Costello, who also produced
RSL and Poguetry in Motion)

While I haven't seen a self-titled C.D., I do own "Red Roses For Me"
from 1984.  (On Enigma Records CDE-73225).  If you liked "Rum, Sodomy
and the Lash", you should like this one.
