I edited my profile with Thomas'
Myspace Editor V4.4
Jack is a unique singer/songwriter with a unique way of writing
songs, of looking at the world and of expressing himself. He also
possesses a signature honey 'n gravel voice that sets him apart from
anyone else you've ever heard and which also adds credence to his
lyrics and to the passion of his vocals.
If you like Bob
Dylan, Steve Forbert, Neil Young and similar artists you no doubt
will find the original sound of Jack Tannehill to your liking as
well.
Jack plays at local gigs in the Northwest New Jersey
area, occassionally crossing state lines into neighboring
Pennsylvania and New York.
Though coming close to a record
deal it somehow has alluded this talented artist. Would he still
accept a deal today? Of course that all would probably depend on the
deal. A publishing deal would be of great interest. Jack has some
fine songs that could cross into different genres. Songs that have
already been at the top of some music site charts. Jack's song, MAKE
IT EASY, in fact won first place in a song contest sponsored by
MakeAStar.com
Praised by other songwriters...
To Jack's
credit other singer/songwriters praise his abilities:
Eddy
Free says "I am so blown away. You reach down deep and pour it
out. I am very moved."
Singer/songwriter & critic,
Serena Matthews, says, "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.
Band History:
Jack
has been around for a while. His first album was released on vinyl
with his partner Brad Jarvis in 1987and was called
"Tannehill-Jarvis". EARLIER LATELY, THE VERY BLEST OF JACK
TANNEHILL features 7 tracks from that first album plus 10 tracks
recorded in 1996 and one bonus track recorded in 1997.
In 1995
Jack released his first independent solo album on CD titled "GREATEST
HINTS"
The Newark Star Ledger featured a review of this
album by Jay Lustig. Jay said in that review: "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"
In addition to GREATEST HINTS, Jack
also has EARLIER LATELY, THE VERY BLEST OF JACK TANNEHILL and
INTRODUCING JACK TANNEHILL also available on CD. A fourth CD,
JACKSON'S FIVE, is in the planning stages.
Jack can also be
found on numerous compilation CDs including THINKING
ABOUT BOB DYLAN which features 5 other singer/songwriters and
Jack with each performing one Bob Dylan song and one song of their
own.
