Bramblett, Randall
That Other Mile
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

1975 original complete with the custom printed inner sleeve. Glossy, NM- vinyl. Light creasing/hint of ring-wear to an otherwise VG+ jacket. "Another excellent album which didn't find an audience, Chuck Leavell of the Allman Brothers Band plays keyboards and writes an effective paragraph on the back cover stating that, in 1974, he worked with Randall Bramblett on two Gregg Allman tours, and that it turned out to be "one of the most musically satisfying points in my career." There are some very big names helping out on the excellent nine songs that make up That Other Mile. Beautiful keyboard sounds -- the kind that Merl Saunders pours over his discs -- permeate the quality songwriting here. The title track and "Driftin' into a Woman's Arms" become outstanding numbers through the jazz, blues, and pop that color these performances. Paul Hornsby's organ is perfect playing against Leavell's electric piano -- and the song "Driftin' into a Woman's Arms" does drift on and on with backing vocals and slide guitar that remove all hype from Leavell's brash liner notes. Steve Tyrell's production is simply wonderful, as are the strings by Elton John conductor Paul Buckmaster. With contributions from the Brecker Brothers, sax solos by Randall Bramblett, and truly heartfelt vocals, the mystery here is why this album didn't find an audience. That Other Mile is pleasant and cries out for repeated spins. [Out of print for decades, in the new millennium That Other Mile was combined with Bramblett's second solo album, Light of the Night, on a single CD and reissued in remastered form by Bramblett's Blue Ceiling Records.]" All Music Guide - Joe Viglione
