Join Ronan McCullagh this month as he shines a light on the music of Doyle Bramhall II, the man sharing stages with musical royalty.
The son of Texas musician Doyle Bramhall, Doyle II’s Dallas home was filled with blues and rock and roll. His first guitar arrived on his 14th birthday, a 1963 Harmony Rocket passed down from Lightnin’ Hopkins. Finding an instant ability to express himself the left-handed youngster didn’t stop to think about reversing the strings so has continued to play ‘upside down’. Doyle and his brother were childhood friends of Stevie Ray and Jimmie Vaughan. SRV often invited him to sit in on gigs and at 18 Jimmie recruited him for the Fabulous Thunderbirds.
