“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!

“Soulful Southern R&B That Comes at You Like a Musical Stealth Bomber” Rocking Magpie

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 

“The music is fantastic and Bramblett’s voice gets better and better over the years. Others have hits with his songs, but the best music is really made by Bramblett himself.”  Bluestown Music – Netherlands

#5 of Top Ten single releases for July 3 - Alternate Root Magazine

“On Paradise Breakdown, there is something slightly cosmic about these songs, like the man has been floating around the stratosphere collecting ideas and inspiration in a way that allows him to accomplish songwriting abilities that others haven't found quite yet. This is a man who doesn’t miss. He lives at the edge of American roots music, without ever repeating himself or losing his altitude. There is something surely regal about Randall Bramblett’s songs, like he knows the high road is best for him, and doesn’t dip below the line for cheap thrills.”  Bentley’s Bandstand, Americana Highways

“Modern roots music master”  Rock & Blues Muse

"Acclaimed singer-songwriter, sax, keyboard player, band leader, sideman musician and more, Randall Bramblett’s one of the greatest musicians around. There have been many accolades handed to Bramblett over the years, and he still somehow flies under the radar like a stealth bomber."    Rocking Magpie

“The topics while being typical (love & loss, nostalgia & mortality, joy & disappointment) have a Bramblett edge & slant that average songwriters seldom explore. Bramblett isn’t exactly winding down a career. Randall has the goods.” John Apice, Americana Highways

“Bramblett covers a diverse swath of musical and lyrical ground. [It's] appeal takes on greater gravitas as you get accustomed to Bramblett’s winding charms and musical twists. But that makes this so provocative and memorable, infusing the often hypnotic, always entrancing Paradise Breakdown with its staying power. Don’t bother labeling his approach; whatever it is… it’s captivating.” Hal Horowitz, Rock & Blues Muse     

“The 76-year-old Georgia native continues his late-career roll.  On Paradise Breakdown, working alongside other accomplished veterans, he embeds his songs in jazz-inflected deep funk grooves. Paradise Breakdown as a whole, confronts mortality with a mixture of stoicism and wry humor. ”  Uncut Magazine, UK
