:: Release Notes:
::
:: Nick Jaina writes a lot of songs. He is the singer and
:: primary songwriter for the rock band Binary Dolls. In that
:: band he plays the Fender-Rhodes and is backed by drums and
:: electric guitar. When he plays solo, he plays a completely
:: different set of songs. He sings and plays acoustic guitar,
:: piano, accordion, and mandolin and is often joined by guest
:: musicians adding drums, violin, and trumpet.
::
::
:: The songs on his new solo album ôThe Bluff of All Timeö are
:: quiet, rich with emotion, and steeped in American music. His
:: ballads have the sting and resonance of Tom WaitsÆ best work,
:: mixed with the pop hooks of Paul SimonÆs solo music. Nick
:: JainaÆs lyrics are uncommonly good, taking unexpected turns,
:: using vibrant imagery, and never relying on cliches.
::
::
:: Nick Jaina opened for and played drums with The Be Good
:: Tanyas on their 2000 Canadian tour. He was the lead guitarist
:: in 2002-2003 for MyshkinÆs Ruby Warblers. He produced the two
:: most recent Kitchen Syncopators albums, "Yazoo City
:: Strugglers" and "Third-Class Passengers". He produced and
:: played many instruments on Frank LemonÆs self-titled solo
:: album. He has played shows with Veda Hille, Geoff Berner,
:: David Dondero, and Norfolk & Western.
::
:: -----------------------------------------------------------
::
:: The style of this album is bare, underproduced, and highly
:: emotional. The styles range from the tavern balladry of Tom
:: Waits to the smooth "let-me-level-with-ya" easy folk of 70's
:: Paul Simon. Acoustic guitars, creaky piano, violin, trumpet,
:: accordion, mandolin and drums all waltz slowly onto stage,
:: play an important part, and leave when their time is up. It
:: is an album to take a bath in, an album to hold up to the
:: bullets of the world for some protection.
::
:: Nick Jaina has painted faces at Mardi Gras in New Orleans,
:: hung posters in Greenwich Village, toured all of Canada, has
:: been rescued on a farm outside Indianapolis, has been stuck
:: in the El Paso Greyhound station, propositioned while hitch
:: hiking the hill country of Texas, and has been broke in San
:: Francisco. He has written many songs and plays them on the
:: piano, guitar, mandolin, harmonica, accordion, organ or
:: what-have-you. He has played drums with the Be Good Tanyas,
:: synthesizers in the Menomena side project Lackthereof,
:: produced the Kitchen Syncopators, played lead guitar in
:: Myshkin's Ruby Warblers, played in an experimental electronic
:: band at the opening of a Dollar Tree, played trumpet with the
:: Maybe Happening, held the hand of the devil and shot God out
:: of the sky. His songs are rich with faith and despair.
