DetroitBlues Posted May 22, 2022 Posted May 22, 2022 Stumbled across this on YouTube… Lefty 535 in the Royal Albert Hall with Eric Clapton… Curiously, it’s strung upside down…
Kuz Posted May 22, 2022 Posted May 22, 2022 Doyle Bramhall II, he is a MONSTER player and has played his 535 for 12-15 years with Clapton.
skydog52 Posted May 22, 2022 Posted May 22, 2022 Yes he is a great player. Started in 2000 with Clapton in the studio. I think he's produced for him also.
yoslate Posted May 22, 2022 Posted May 22, 2022 Bramhall II is as talented a writer/singer/player as anybody working right now. Anybody! His 2016 long player, Rich Man, is staggeringly good! Its music goes from Mali to Memphis, and back again. As good a record as I've heard in the last thirty years and in my top five, ever. He was touring a reformed Arc Angels with Chris Layton and Charlie Sexton earlier this year. And DB, it's not strung "upside down." Bramhall plays left-handed, but with it strung right-handed, as did Albert King, Elizabeth Cotten, Dick Dale, Eric Gales, and Otis Rush. Note also the dot on the selector switch, suggesting HRW p'ups.
Doug Posted May 23, 2022 Posted May 23, 2022 I saw Doyle and the original Arcangels at the State theater in Kalamazoo back a long time ago. He's a great player and singer, i've got a couple of his CD's
