 \n\n An Irish folk singer drawing on the Neil Young songwriting tradition.
  Declan is a product of the folk-rock busking tradition which produced Dam
 ien Dempsey\, Mundy\, and Paddy Casey\, under whom O'Rourke served his mus
 ical apprenticeship\, his audience-friendly brand of acoustic pop has brou
 ght him multi-platinum success in Ireland.\nHis rough vocal style contrast

 ce differentiating him from his contemporaries and highlighting the debt h
 e owes to the likes of Bruce Springsteen\, Paul Brady\, and Burt Bacharach

 Weller of the Jam said this about Delcan' in April's Mojo: &ldquo\;He writ
 es the sort of classic songs that people don't write anymore\, songs that 
 sound like they've been around forever . . . Listen to Galileo\, which is 
 possibly the greatest song written in the last thirty years.&rdquo\;\n \nR
 obert Steven Williams released the critically acclaimed CD &ldquo\;I Am No
 t My Job\,&rdquo\; featuring Rachel Z (Peter Gabriel\, Wayne Shorter) and
