A find. Transcending its well-connected professional genre, the slightly distracted passion of Bramblett's singing combines with his oblique fusion of Southern boogie, studio country-rock and Caribbean styles to take the edge of privilege off his philosophical fatalism. Bramblett's music is too warm and funny to sound self-satisfied, and the way he collects images around an aphoristic catch-phrase is too open-ended to sound smug. Start with side two.
