Doyle Bramhall II stands as one
of the most distinctive vocalists, guitarists, composers and producers in
contemporary music. Eric Clapton, with whom Bramhall II has collaborated
for more than a decade, cites the guitarist as one of the most gifted players
he has ever encountered.
Bramhall II was raised in a
home filled with the blues and rock & roll sounds that are indigenous to
Texas – the state of his birth. His father, Doyle Bramhall, played drums
for blues legends Lightning Hopkins and Freddie King and was also an
accomplished songwriter and vocalist. Bramhall II was a life-long
collaborator with childhood friends, Stevie Ray and Jimmie Vaughan, composing
such signature classics as “Change It” and “Life by the Drop”. When
Bramhall II was 18, he was recruited by Jimmie Vaughan to play with the
Fabulous Thunderbirds. Bramhall II’s reputation blossomed and two years
later, he co-founded the Arc Angels with Charlie Sexton and Stevie Ray
Vaughan’s rhythm section comprised of Chris Layton and Tommy Shannon.
Their self-titled debut album, fueled by such popular songs as “Living In A
Dream” and “Sent By Angels” enjoyed wide success. In the aftermath of two
critically-acclaimed solo albums Jellycream and Welcome, Bramhall II’s
unparalleled skills as a guitarist won the attention of both Eric Clapton and
Roger Waters. Waters showcased the guitarist on his In The Flesh tour and
accompanying album. Eric Clapton featured Bramhall II’s songs and guitar work
as part of Riding With The King, his GRAMMY winning project with B.B. King.
Clapton then recruited Bramhall II to join him on a full time basis and their
association flourished. The guitarist toured with Clapton throughout the
world and their dramatic interplay thrilled fans and immediately drew
comparisons to past triumphs such as Derek & The Dominoes. Bramhall II’s
distinctive guitar work – he is a left-handed player who plays a right-handed
strung guitar flipped upside down – left an indelible mark on Clapton albums
such as Me And Mr. Johnson and Searching For Robert J. Both projects were
highlighted by Bramhall II and Clapton’s stirring duets in the same Dallas room
where Robert Johnson had originally recorded his legendary songs in 1937.
Bramhall II’s songwriting prowess would also be featured as part of Reptile,
Back Home and Road to Escondido. He would next co-produce Clapton’s two
most recent albums, Clapton and 2013’s Old Sock.
In addition to Clapton,
Bramhall II has been in demand as composer, guitarist and producer,
collaborating with such as artists as Sheryl Crow, Tedeschi Trucks, Elton John,
?uestlove, Gary Clark Jr., Erykah Badu, Gregg Allman, Robert Randolph, T-Bone
Burnett, Meshell Ndegeocello, Dr. John and many others. Bramhall II has
produced several records, including Crow’s popular 100 Miles from
Memphis. Bramhall II is now completing his much anticipated fourth solo
album, launching the next chapter in an extraordinary musical journey.
