From Branch to Branch is the fourth studio album by Leon Redbone, released in 1981. It was his first on Atlantic Records and peaked at No. 152 on the Billboard 200 chart.

This is as extravagant and complicated a studio production as any of Leon Redbone's releases. Complete details about the musicians involved in each session are printed in miniscule yellow type of the eyestrain-inducing variety, perhaps a gesture at making younger listeners feel more sympathetic to the elderly music fans who would have been old enough to remember some of this material first-hand even back in the early '80s. Other songs are so familiar that recognition is not an issue; the question would be more appropriately, why bother? But questions of taste are not really a subject for this performer, who once having established his shtick and the prerequisite of technical talent required to pull it off, created albums that inevitably mix the sublime with the totally boring. Disastrous moves here include a weak Hank Williams cover, since expressing sincere emotion is not really in Redbone's bones. "Prairie Lullaby" is pretty sappy as well, and not really the sort of thing someone as immersed in vintage music as Redbone should have wanted to create. The tracks featuring Dr. John come off much better, examples of rollicking interplay that producer Beryl Handler, whose name even implies a hands-on touch, is wise to leave in a fairly spontaneous mode. While Redbone's performance of "My Blue Heaven" is fairly hack, a good rhythm section with bassist Bob Cranshaw and drummer Grady Tate certainly does a good job on the backup.

Review by Eugene Chadbourne, Allmusic.com

This is an amazing recording by Leon Redbone. I originally bought it when it came out on vinyl and liked it less than his previous albums at the time but remembered enjoying tracks like "Seduced" and "Extra Blues" so bought it for those. I am so glad I did. Although there is no reference to this having been remastered I was delighted with how the excellent playing of the sidesmen came across with a clarity I couldn't remember being on the vinyl. (it is possible that the cd format allowed a transcription from the 24 track master tapes that the vinyl did not.)

This beautiful, jazzy background is excellent and features some exquisite clarinet (and also spirited piano from Dr John on a couple of tracks) yet does this without overwhelming Leon Redbone's lead on guitar and vocal. There is however enough room given for there to be some lovely solos throughout.

This is another of Leon's trawls through musical history ranging from New Orleans jazzy numbers, Tin-Pan Alley standards by way of Hank Williams, a novelty song and the blues which he, in his own inimitable style, moulds into a marvellous listening experience. Perhaps it is the presence of Dr John guesting, but many of the tracks seem to have a New Orleans influence - there is a jazz funeral intro to "Extra Blues" -which I still like a lot- but it is hard to single out the best tracks on this great cd. I am least keen one of the tracks with a string arrangement -"When You Wish Upon A Star" which I am afraid I still cannot disentangle from bad memories of the Disney original in a film that scared me witless as a toddler.

Personal prejudices notwithstanding, this gentle, jazzy relaxing recording is excellent.
