Review by Steven Hatley

O'Rourkes' album Songs Too Good To Forget is a stunning collection of tracks that showcases the group's immense talent and passion for music. From start to finish, the album is a masterclass in songwriting, musicianship, and production.

The album's opening track, "Take Me Home", sets the tone perfectly with its infectious melody, soaring harmonies, and heartfelt lyrics. Other standout tracks include the hauntingly beautiful "Ghost of You", the upbeat and catchy "Dance With Me", and the emotionally charged "Broken Heart".

Throughout the album, O'Rourkes demonstrate their versatility as musicians, seamlessly blending elements of folk, rock, and pop to create a sound that is uniquely their own. The instrumentation is always tasteful and expertly executed, with each member of the band contributing their own unique flair to the mix.

But what truly sets Songs Too Good To Forget apart is the honesty and sincerity that permeates each track. Whether they're singing about love, loss, or the struggles of everyday life, O'Rourkes' lyrics are always heartfelt and relatable, making it easy for listeners to connect with the songs on a deep and personal level.
