Randall Bramblett - Paradise Breakdown / signed copy

“Throw My Cane Away,” a clear standout on the album that fully captures Bramblett’s devotion to a New Orleans soul sound with a nod to one of its musical heroes. Ultimately, this seems like the exact song that the great Dr. John himself would record and Bramblett is clearly paying a deeper homage than just referencing him in the lyrics.” - Glide Magazine

“What a groovy, funky, infectious piece of music.” – UK Bob, WRFG Atlanta, GA

"Show me another singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist in the style and of the caliber of Randall Bramblett, and I’ll show you an authentic Fountain of Youth. Yes, Bramblett is that unique, and that good. Paradise Breakdown presents a set of ruminations through deeply drawn characters in often abstract situations swimming in swampy mélanges of blues, folk, gospel, rock, and soul. All that, yet easy for a listener to enjoy. And all par for Bramblett’s course. Randall Bramblett’s songs have been so consistently characteristic of his unique artistry through the years, he has virtually created a genre of music all his own."  Tom Clarke, Making A Scene!

Paradise Breakdown is his 13th album, but it may get even more notice due to (Bettye) LaVette’s endorsement and the publicity stemming from her album. The truth is that Bramblett is remarkably consistent; he has never made a bad album. Somehow, he never got a major push that would land him alongside singer-songwriters like Dave Alvin, Jason Isbell, John Hiatt, Steve Earle and others.  He belongs in that conversation.  Bramblett’s glowing resume is as strong as any, spanning such names as Sea Level, Widespread Panic, Gregg Allman, Traffic, Steve Winwood, Blind Boys of Alabama,  Marc Cohn, and Bonnie Raitt, besides his solid solo career."  Glide, Jim Hynes
