Press:
of "Stumble and Glow": "Braden's record is like the great missing Lindsay Buckingham album - in that it has rootsy slash classic influences blended with contemporary urges and inspiration. The songs, singing and playing are great and the production takes it far beyond the all too prominent acoustic taxidermy approach. The arrangements and sonics are unlimbered from any new folk recording expectations - the record goes places without being too conservative or technologically clever in a forced way. I love it. I think it sounds famous." -R. S. Field
Braden Land is one of my favorites. If you need an overly simplified description, think of him as Conor Oberst but with some serious scrot. This guy has something so unique that he's going to be around forever..." -Peter Grumbine of Current TV
"Braden Land writes and plays with a depth far beyond his years, and his delivery is just as mature. Stumble & Glow is rife with emotion, and Land spills introspection and personal struggle into fertile testaments to the heart. Land is a new, young voice in music, and this guy has much more to say."
-Hittin' the Note
Braden Land is a radioactive spyship in disguise. He may not be a household name (yet), but it would be wise to get this potent singer songwriter on your radar now. His steady acoustic guitar, occasionally layered with harmonica, is full enough to accompany Land's killer vocals, which are somewhere along the lines of ring round the rosie with Dylan, Townes Van Zandt and Lowell George. Evangeline Tonight in video form is pure bone-chilling beauty...Take note of Braden Land now. I have the feeling someday soon you'll be saying, 'Oh yeah, I heard that guy's stuff on the Luxury Wafers site."
-Luxurywafers.net
"Braden Land is a highly motivated singer/songwriter that stands out from normal Americana fare. "Stumble and Glow" is a fascinating blend of thoughtful lyricism and imaginative instrumentation. When reading about Braden, the names Bob Dylan and Townes Van Zandt pop up frequently, and you can hear the influence, namely in the songwriting."
-Charleston Post and Courier
"Singer-songwriter Braden Land, a promising young folk-rock-roots troubadour with a hefty dose of Southern blues and a seasoned literary writer’s heart. Land is one of those musicians with an off-center quality that’s infectious and enhanced by his raw vocals, meandering stories and wayward vision of life." -The Toledo Blade
"Take a voice similar to Gram Parsons, add the harmonica sound of classic Dylan, a dash of solid acoustic guitar, some excellent lyrics, mix them all together, and you have Braden Land." -David Bowling of DailyVault.com
Music Biz Radio's Hot Unsigned Artist of the Month!!
"If you love Bob Dylan and Neil Young then you'll love Braden's ability to craft a lyric with great imagery and deliver it with simplicity. His lyrics are heartfelt and genuine and his vocals are the perfect storyteller." -Music Biz Radio [www.musicbizradio.net]
"In eleven years in the bar business I have rarely had a musician pass through that had the raw talent Braden possesses. His stage presence, songwriting ability, guitar work and voice had everyone in a trance. This guy is the real deal."
-Rick Barfield, The Blind Mule- Mobile, AL
