Press quotes:
“Nick Jaina’s ‘Wool’ is full of the kinds of songs that sound as if they could have been written in any one of the past several decades, as comfortable next to Cole Porter as they are Tom Waits or (to a lesser degree) the Black Heart Procession.” — OPB Music
“Jaina … can make any song sound like a home ...” — Willamette Weekly
