What others have said about Jack and his music: "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 .................................................... Man...I don't write to too many artists. Anyway, I'm listening to your music (stuff) right now and feel like music is OK again. Thanks for being! --- William Kitchens [Note: This comment means a lot coming from a noteworthy and successful songwriter] .................................................... Jack Tannehill is the great lost poet of NJ. He is a rare individual, and a passionate entertainer. It is my high personal honor to know him... --- DJ Ralph Drake of HomeGrownRadioNJ ...................................................... I can't remember the last time I have felt so high listening to a song. Your talent bedazzles me. How could I never have heard of you before?? It's an injustice to the world that more people don't know about you. --- singer/songwriter/critic Serena Matthews .....................................................
