“Acoustic Gems from the Cork singer-songwriter. Each song superglues to the memory " **** Mojo Magazine

"hidden depths and lyrical touches that make the listener sit up and take notice...melancholy and joyous, at once catchy and thoughtful." -Americana UK
“In time of constant change, certainties remain. Among them is the music of Cormac O Caoimh.. hook laden songs, lyrically deep explorations and that all important personal touch that reflects O Caoimh’s music… varied, finely painted and ever-widening illustrations” – Folkwords
