An incredible CD

"Never have I written a review for an album, yet never have I thought an album deserve to be heard more than this one. The multi-dimensional masterpiece that is Back in The Bottle combines beautifully intricate acoustic music with stellar lyrics sung with passion and truth. From the wise words of "Someone" to the playful, raw tone of "Suddenly not alone" this album has everything. Having only heard brief tidbits of Back In the Bottle, my expectations were that the album would have only a few good songs. But when I ordered the album for myself and listened to it on a ride back from the gym, I was so intrigued that I drove past my house so that I could hear the entire album. Every song contributes to the complexity and broad range of emotion and music that this album contains.
Tammany Hall has quickly become my favorite band, and this album does not leave my CD player nor do its songs leave my guitar. I wouldn't be surprised if these guys emerged into the popular music scene soon, but it would also be tragic because the thought of making this music seem trite and overplayed to the likes of John Mayer's Room For Squares would destroy the rare beauty found on this album. I definitely reccomend this album to anybody and everybody."

Had given up on music until...

"Tammany Hall NYC is incredible. I own over 800 CDs and for the past 6 months haven't bought a single piece of music because nothing out there was of interest to me. Until, I heard this band on HBO. It took forever for me to figure out who they were. I bought their album immediately and it is all I listen to. They have instantly become one of my favorite bands. Like other reviewers have written, every song can stand alone, not one song sounds like the next. The music is unlike any I've ever heard before. I highly recommend this album if you're looking for something that you didn't believe was even out there."

Amazing!

"I absolutely LOVE this band. This is the kind of music that you not only hear but feel. To the individual who what wondering about what song was on the HBO commercial, it is called Waiting For You, which is a remake of Waiting For Jane. The entire song is the same except they replaced Jane with You in the title and lyrics. Either version is great. I only hope more people come to learn about this band."
