Randall Bramblett: Light of the Night [Polydor, 1976]
Bramblett is a genuinely philosophical songwriter, an A student at a first-rate modernist seminary who hasn't lost his taste for the cracker barrel. His pessimism is gentle and good-humored, just like his soulful, pleasantly aimless music. Anybody who can follow a credible song about Karl Jung with another called "The Joke of the Coastal Plain" (that's us, fellow humans) is somebody you'll feel like listening to now and again. B+
