Whiskey Tango Ghosts

Product Description
From the founding member of three of the most successful bands of the post-punk era (Throwing Muses, The Breeders, Belly), comes the follow-up to 2002's solo outing "Beautysleep". "Whiskey Tango Ghost" is a record that's more stripped-down, acoustic, natural sounding, and intimate than any of Donelly's previous efforts.

Tanya's Best.......2006-11-06

I am a big fan of all of Tanya's work. However, this is the first cd of hers that I like every single songs. My favorites are Golden Mean, Every Devil, Whisky Tango Ghost and Just in Case You Quit Me. I like the quieter Tanya and I can't wait to get her 2006 release. Oh yeah, she is also amazing live!

don't waste your time or money.......2006-02-13

this album by tanya is extremely mellow and boring. all the songs run together and sound the same. please save your money and time on this waste of an album

Intelligence, soul, wit and lyricism--A divine combo........2005-06-29

I've listened to Tanya For twenty years at least in her various incarnations, collaborations and fancies. It's a shame that I can say I've been doing anything for twenty years because it means I'm old enough to say it. What I simply love about this album is that the emotions, tone, beauty, and pace resonate so well with the complexity and maturity of my real life now. Let's face, punk rocking is tiring after twenty years. This is a new sound for her, though there have been hints it in her appearances on This Mortal Coil ("You and Your Sister"), though it's much more refined, mesmerizing and moving by comparison. The sound and recording is outstanding--those with audiophile systems will be in for a treat. Make no mistake, this is not a rocking, dischordant, get up and jump around recording. Some have called it country--but what the hell they are talking about?, I don't get it. No country here. I also have to be in the mood for it: somber, intropsective, intimate. Seriously, I have not found a more moving bit of music in a long while--music that stays with me, that I find myself singing regardless of location. Enjoy.

lovely, beguiling.......2005-03-10

I love Tanya when she rocks out & I love her when she keeps it quiet. I do miss her Belly & "Lovesongs For Underdogs" days, but "Whiskey Tango Ghosts" still finds Tanya able to write one gorgeous, catchy pop song. She has never sounded lovelier, especially on tracks such as "Divine Sweet Divide," "My Life As A Ghost," "The Promise," and "Fallout." WTG is by far her most personally revealing & intimate work, focusing on her relationship with her husband. Donelly has matured with sweet grace. I can't wait for the next album!

Peacefully introspective.......2005-01-19

For those of you who adore Tanya Donnelly like myself and have loved her since the glory days of Throwing Muses, The Breeders, and Belly, do not look for more of the same from Tanya on Whiskey Tango Ghosts. That's not to say that this album is bad or even lacking; it is, however, vastly divergent from the invigorating and life-affirming timelessness of Star.

The entire album is unplugged (big surprise!) and incredibly introspective, if not somewhat listless at times. Although admittedly, this album will take a few listens to be fully appreciated, it nonetheless fails to galvanize and energize like the Tanya of old did. Overall, I found it to be enjoyable and even profound at times, just not as exciting.
