(About MP3 downloads at CD Baby)

Presented with the urgency of a firecracker, hear the heartwarming collision of melody, emotion, imagination and wit.

notes

A heartwarming collision of expression, melody and wit, only Jim Bianco can do what Jim Bianco does. It's been said that if Randy Newman and Paul McCartney were to meet at a diner owned by Tom Waits, they would unanimously agree to play Bianco's music on the tableside midget-jukebox.

A two-year resident of the trendy desert known as Los Angeles and now living in the bowels of Hollywood, Jim is focused on writing songs you never knew you knew, or, moreover, songs you know by heart, but never heard before.

Performing with the urgency of a firecracker and the intensity of an oncoming train while still maintaining his humor and sincerity, the delivery of Jim's music leaves the listener if not with a celebratory smile on their face, than with the feeling of being comfortably overwhelmed.

His self-produced self-released CD "Well Within Reason" is an undeniable exercise in imagination, humor, depth and musicality. It's a true representation of his love for all styles of music, from folk to be-bop to pop to James Brown, but is still held together concretely by his voice, his topic matter and his unique sense of blending the real old with the brand new. It is tangible proof that only Jim Bianco can do what Jim Bianco does.

    I am from New Orleans originally, I have been blessed with great music all my life. And through all the lovely notes I've heard - these dance above. This album is in my top five - and to those who do not know me - that is quiet a statement. Get this album. you will not regret it.

    Jim Bianco never ceases to amaze me. He keeps you poppin and singin along with every single song. He has fun with his music and you can definitley tell in this cd. The age of pop is definitley out the window when we have an amazing song writer like this coming onto the scene! Yay!

    Another great one for Jim Bianco! There are not very many CDs that grab me so entirely from beginning to end, and quickly! Compelling lyrical content alongside great music. This CD is good for jamming in the car, dancing around the kitchen, or just by yourself. One of my favorites after just a couple of runs. Cheers, friends....

    This album is just pure fun for when you need to blast something out your fire escape on a sunny day. Only downer is that JB's growl sounds much better live than on disk. But this album has revved up a group of newly-loyal NYC fans to (almost) convert to being part of west-cost lyrical satire. We have la cucarachas here, too.

  • Great Job
    author: Dennis Sirianni

    Wow! The CD starts out as a fun romp and unwittingly takes you on a journey of well thought out emotions. Great job Jim, Thank you for keeping it independent! Dennis Sirianni Street Choir Management llc.

  • Amazing Man, Amazing Music
    author: Sara

    I've known Mr. Jim Bianco since the summer of 2002, and every show I've seen and every song I've heard has grabbed me and made me love him even more. You really cannot go wrong with this album. JB writes lyrics that fill you with wonder and leave you wanting more. He is also backed by an awesome band. If you have the chance, see him live (and check out his live CD at the Hotel Cafe!). You will not be disappointed.

  • great voice, lyrics, etc.
    author: Catherine Caudle

    This excellent cd grabs you with its deep and raspy vocals, intelligent lyrics without the syrup, guitar and band work that kicks.Southpaw is one of those addictive songs you can't get out of your head!

  • Wonderful!
    author: Kathleen D'Ambra

    Really awesome - definitely reminiscent of Tom Waits, but not a copycat. Very original, thought-provoking and tuneful. This is one I'll wear out!

    This is an emotionally compelling album, touching on topics with great insight, flow, and grace. The instrumentation carefully conveys the meaning behind each lyric. Bianco's songs are filled with wisdom, sublety, and substance. His musicianship is outstanding and his voice is comforting to the ear. I highly recommend this album!
