Highly sought-after for his creativity as a songwriter and a touring multi-instrumentalist, Randall Bramblett’s talent has earned him the respect of rock’s finest luminaries. He certainly got much exposure playing with Gregg Allman, Widespread Panic, Blind Boys of Alabama, Marc Cohn, Steve Winwood and more. But it’s Bramblett’s own career as frontman where his artistry is truly on full display as an original talent. He’s recorded 12 of his own albums, with the last seven done for New West Records.

So it’s a particularly fitting honor to have soul legend Bettye LaVette release a tribute album to Randall, covering 11 of his songs, June 16 on the Jay-Vee label. Super-producer Steve Jordan brought in Steve Winwood, John Mayer, Jon Batiste, Larry Campbell and more to play on it!
