Details:
Compelling and hypnotic, dark and haunting -- these are words repeatedly used to describe Elaine O'Rourke's debut CD, "No Beginning, No End."

Resonating with the spirit of her native Ireland, OâRourkeâs deceptively sweet and seductive voice and entrancing acoustic guitar style lure the listener to a mystical, ancient place. A tempting risk-taker, OâRourke is an explorer who beckons you to wander, curious, beyond the expected, beyond the comfortable conventions of modern folk music.

No Beginning, No End marks OâRourkeâs recording debut, and itâs a strong one. Known to audiences in her adopted hometown of Gloucester, MA for her expressive live performances, OâRourke assembled an impressive list of talent to get her unique musical vision down on tape. Co-produced by âSuper Geniusâ singer/songwriter Michael Barry, No Beginning, No End features legendary English drummer (and Marblehead resident) David Mattacks on drums and keyboards. Mattacks, who has played with Richard Thompson, Rosanne Cash, and Mary Chapin Carpenter, says, âMike, with whom I play in âSuper Geniusâ, played some tracks for me, and I thought they were great. Elaine's music has a rare honesty â an authenticity. I very much enjoyed doing the record."

Joining Barry and Mattacks are Jim Lounsbury, Elaineâs frequent on-stage accompanist, who contributes standout violin passages, as well as piano, âFour Piece Suitâ instrumentalists Dave Sholl and Milt Reder, playing Irish whistle and electric guitar, respectively, and âWhalebone Farmhouseâ acoustic guitarist Rocky Kramm, who lends a nice touch to the CDâs closer, âNighttime Shadowsâ. The record was mixed by Huck Bennert, who has mixed records for Lori McKenna, Carrie Rodriguez, Katie Curtis, and Dar Williams.

"She has a beautiful voice. The songs have wonderful lyrics and her voice is clear and resonantâ¦the mood was very haunting and moodyâ¦I love that. She slipped easily from the Celtic folk sound to a more jazzy piece called 'Fly Baby Fly', to rock. The first time we played her CD in the store, two customers wanted to know who was singing.â -- Susan Emerson of Gloucester Music.

"She's just a fantastic spirit. Her vibe is going to sell her records. She's got a very unique style." -- Fly Amero of the band "Orleans".

"Ms. OâRourkeâs lovely and strategically deployed contralto is an integral addition to this versatile, largely folk-oriented collection of melodic balladsâ¦There is a wistful, almost sentimental, quality to her voice which lends to even her most subtle tunes a timeless appealâ¦In a folk music marketplace glutted with sound-alikes and wannabes, this hauntingly original and remarkably assured debut CD is a keeper". -- Francis DiMenno, The Noise
