THE SINGLE OF THE DAY "Jack was brought to my attention by someone who represents his music.
When I first took a listen I thought I wasn’t gonna put it up on the blog, mostly because the recording wasn’t
killing me. But as the music kept going, I realized the simplicity of the song and how
nice the melody moved with the harmony was too powerful. It far outweighed the production
quality that I’m normally used to and I had to make an exception. Ever listen to a musician and get the little hairs on the back of your neck standing
up? Well, Jack is on the verge of putting me there. That voice is one of kind. The gravel
and the character are amazing. Jack has something magical about his vocal delivery. I
think I could sit and listen to him tell a story without singing it and still be
mesmerized. Some people have voices like that. Ones that are music to other people’s
ears. Jack has several CD’s. I think you’d have some fun exploring someone who is
pretty far off the beaten path, but is fun to listen to. If it’s fun to listen to, it’s
fun to follow. ---Jody Whitesides/The Single of the Day blog |
THE STAR LEDGER "Painfully honest lines appear in virtually every song, making GREATEST HINTS an album that grabs a listeners attention. Equally important though is Tannehill's voice. He is in his 30's but he sounds twice as old singing in a weathered rasp that adds weight to his stories. Jack Tannehill's new album is full of 'strikingly candid sentiments'. Judging by this album, Tannehill truly deserves to go further with his solo endeavors" ---Jay Lustig |
AQUARIAN WEEKLY "Stop Right Now" sums up just how far astray this world and country have gone. Lets just say it's a wake up call…and a damn good one…he has found a way of talking about topics that affect each and every person on earth…everyone can find themselves in at least one of Jack's songs …it's time to bring this guy to the forefront" ---Bea Flatte |
OUT & ABOUT "Tannehill's gravely, passionate vocals and detailed song-writing have earned him a niche among North Jersey's troubadours. Greatest Hints" is a solid and at times moving solo debut for Jack Tannehill, and Buy or Die Records has added two strong albums to their small but growing catalog. ---Wayne Thorp |
The Star - Gazette "Tannehill is saved from self absorbtion because he says so many things to which others can relate…intensely personal to the point of being confessionals, with the listener as his priest" ---Bill Nutt "What makes Tannehill a different artist is that within his songs comes messages that mean something"…"for those looking for music with meaning, this CD is a must" ---Dan Hirshberg |
