Randall Bramblett releases new DVD, Live at the Rialto Room
"On February 13, 2010, at The Rialto Room in Athens, Georgia, we gathered
musicians and video and audio crews for a quick afternoon run through in
preparation for “The Meantime” CD release concert. Up until the last minute,
we were rounding up equipment and trying to fit strings, horns, vocalists and
the rest of the musicians onto the small stage. Somehow when it came time to
start the show that night, everything fell into place and it turned out to be one
of the most beautiful performances of my career. I hope you enjoy this night
as much as I did. Thanks to everyone who helped make this wonderful show
possible."
Video from Randall Bramblett's Latest Album The Meantime
"Driving To Montgomery" from Randall's Bramblett's album The Meantime featuring Bramblett on piano and vocals accompanied by Gerry Hansen on drums and percussion and Chris Enghauser on upright bass with special guest Adam McKnight on backing vocals. Video directed by Jeff Jefarres.
"Davis Causey and I wrote this song several years back as a story about two people who left the south because of civil rights issues and headed north to start a new life only to find that they missed their home in Alabama. There's a mixture of hope and irony when they say "the times have changed" in Montgomery. We used something close to a second line beat and Dixie Hummingbirds style backing vocals to conjure up the right feel." —Randall Bramblett
Randall Bramblett's beautiful new CD The Meantime, marks a departure for the highly acclaimed multi-instrumentalist and songwriter who is best known for his work with Steve Winwood, Traffic, Levon Helm, Sea Level, Gregg Allman, Bonnie Raitt, Widespread Panic and more. On his 8th solo album, Bramblett performs primarily on acoustic piano, organ, and lead vocals. The CD features 12 original tracks, including some of Bramblett's earliest songs such as "Sacred Harmony," "Witness For Love," and "One More Rose" as well as newer, unreleased compositions. A sultry blend of ambient folk, jazz, traditional piano and seductive vocals, the music on The Meantime is romantic and mesmerizing in the vein of Norah Jones or The Blue Nile.
