Elliot Randall & The Deadmen released their sophomore album, "Caffeine & Gasoline" in February of 2010. Just weeks later, they found themselves  in the top 30 on the Americana Airplay charts, where they remained for seventeen weeks. The album was also listed at #33 on the Americana Music Association's Top 100 Albums of 2010.

"Caffeine & Gasoline" features a collection of songs that blend three-part harmonies with outlaw country, rock and the band's own brand of rhythm & blues. The album was recorded and produced at Mission Bells Studio in San Francisco by David Simon-Baker (ALO, Jackie Greene, The Mother Hips) and Randall. It features Randall's core band, The Deadmen - Kyle Caprista (drums,vocals), James Deprato (guitars,banjo,mandolin) and Danilo Lopez (bass, vocals), and a special guest appearance by Jackie Greene .  "Caffeine & Gasoline" builds on the strengths that were characteristic of Randall's debut - "a sweet voice, a keen eye, a deft hand with lyrics, and a great command of production dynamics." (Jessie Scott, MusicFog)

"Elliot Randall is a country singer-songwriter who doesn’t sound like he should be from San Francisco.  His music has an authentic feel, with lyrics that recall Waylon and Willie, along with the darker Merle and even the offbeat Dwight Yoakum, all coupled with the pop sensibilities of The Eagles." (Berkeley Place, 2010)

Quotes

Caffeine & Gasoline #33 on The Americana Music Association's Top 100 Albums of 2010

 

"With the release of his second independent album, Caffeine & Gasoline, Bay Area-based songwriter Elliot Randall has taken a giant leap forward—and the national stage can’t be out of his reach for too much longer."
 

"KFOG gets it right. From the off, this album grabs you and doesn’t let go. It’s powerful, melodic, sublime and utterly delicious...Randall can make you soar, contemplate and pull at your heartstrings – all at the same time."

"Brilliant Americana featuring soulful, angsty singing over music that straddles country and rock with style and flair."


"Caffeine & Gasoline presents a guy who knows where he’s going, how to get there, and what to sound like, so get the hell out of his way."


"The way Randall pours out the soul of his protagonists is a manner exhibited by more seasoned songwriters. Randall will no doubt go from a popular regional Northern California artist to a true touring songwriter."
 

"Elliot Randall is a country singer-songwriter who doesn’t sound like he should be from San Francisco.  His music has an authentic feel, with lyrics that recall Waylon and Willie, along with the darker Merle and even the offbeat Dwight Yoakum, all coupled with the pop sensibilities of The Eagles."


"Keep an eye (and an ear) on these guys; they’ve got a bright future."
