Music review: Randall Bramblett – 无毛视频楯uke Joint at the Edge of the World无毛视频�
Besides having a great title, the latest album from Randall Bramblett is a gritty collection of road-weary tracks detailing spicy stories about life无毛视频檚 adventures experienced off the beaten path.
无毛视频淛uke Joint at the Edge of the World无毛视频� is a nod to the small clubs and honky-tonks nestled in forgotten places and the colorful people who spend their hard-earned paychecks to lose themselves in a little friendly conversation, a lot of adult beverages and plenty of spirited music that reaches down and touches the soul.
The Georgia native issued his first solo effort with 1975无毛视频檚 无毛视频淭hat Other Mile无毛视频� and has been racking up the musical miles as a solo act, session player and touring musician ever since.
An accomplished writer and multi-talented musician, Bramblett has worked alongside memorable artists such as Steve Winwood, Gregg Allman, Levon Helm, Robbie Robertson, Bonnie Raitt and Widespread Panic. He also played with Chuck Leavell in the jazz-rock fusion band Sea Level.
If you aren无毛视频檛 familiar with Sea Level, allow me to take a brief detour and suggest that you treat yourself to the band无毛视频檚 1977 eponymous debt release featuring 无毛视频淩ain in Spain无毛视频� and 无毛视频淣othing Matters But the Fever.无毛视频�
Bramblett无毛视频檚 11th studio release shakes the rust off the fenders with opener 无毛视频淧lan B.无毛视频� Bramblett无毛视频檚 seasoned vocals feel right at home delivering the rousing track about exploring life without an agenda and, of course, no backup plan for when things go sideways.
无毛视频淧ot Hole on Main Street无毛视频� speaks to dealing with the daily struggles of trying to make ends meet, while 无毛视频淕arbage Man无毛视频� offers up a funky take on simply enjoying the position and placement that life has dealt you.
无毛视频淭rippy Little Thing无毛视频� sounds like psychedelic Eric Clapton with hints of vintage Cream, whereas 无毛视频淚 Just Don无毛视频檛 Have the Time无毛视频� serves as a smoldering blues number.
After over 40 years of performing, Bramblett pulls an unexpected surprise by recording his first cover track with a fine rendition of Beck无毛视频檚 无毛视频淒evil无毛视频檚 Haircut.无毛视频�
无毛视频淒o You Want to Be Free无毛视频� closes the set with a tender glimpse of hope and light surprisingly overtaking the dark gloom of the streets, proving that if you truly want to be free, don无毛视频檛 have a Plan B.
