"If I had to make a list of the sexiest and best-looking male vocalists, I'd put John Barrowman, Tom Andersen and Sean McDermott at the top, but now I've got a new name to add: Jack Donahue. ''Lighthouse'' is an amazing album. I love the sound of Donahue's voice. It's so beautiful, intimate and direct. I love how he sings Mary Chapin Carpenter songs like ''Come On, Come On'' and ''Only a Dream.'' Donahue knows how to take a tune and make it his own. Wait'll you hear him on ''The Water Is Wide.'' Kudos to the mellow arrangements. What a great debut CD. I haven't been able to stop playing this CD since I bought it, and I can't wait until his next one comes out. Bravo!"

"Popular NYC Cabaret artist Jack Donahue delights with his debut CD of pop songs dipped in a semi-new age production style.



His covers of Mary Chapin Carpenter's "Come On, Come On" and "Only A Dream" are superb, and "Hero and Leander" showcases his upper register beautifully.



Donahue has a way with a lyric that makes him stand-out among the multitude of fledgling cabaret artists that compete for the spotlight.

Impressive pop ponderings from a bright new talent

"The sheer depth of emotion conveyed in Jack Donahue's voice makes this album a must listen. Alternatingly rejoicing and yearning, here is a voice for the new millenium. Donahue puts his unique spin on some remarkable (if not well-known) pop standards that leave the listener fulfilled, yet wanting more... like another album! His sublte take on "Come On, Come On" should make Mary-Chapin Carpenter proud, and his hauntingly passionate "Only A Dream" far surpasses the heights Carpenter reached with her original. These are only two of the many moments you will cherish from this debut.I, for one, am anxious to hear what this talented singer brings forth on his next release. Look forward to big things in the coming years from Jack Donahue."
