Summary: Great tunes, great sound
Comment: I went to see CC Adcock at Jazz Fest this year. Had a guy named Bramhall playing with him. CC was his usual mix of cool and grease but the songs were instantly catchy. Turns out Bramhall is sort of a legend. Turns out they are playing together because they just put together an album. Turns out the album is even more terrific than the Jazzfest set. Bramhall writes good hooks. The songs stay with you. Adcock keeps it raw."Cryin" is pure classic Swamp Pop.
CC Adcock is becoming the great collaborator. Robert Plant hung out with him in Lafayette (Louisiana, the Cajun capital)last year. Plant says "He's a piece of work - but I like him."

Summary: This is good news.
Comment: The writer of Stevie Ray Vaugn's "Life by the Drop", Doyle Bramhall has produced an instant classic with this great new album. Produced by himself together with Louisianna guitarist/vocalist C.C.Adcock this CD kicks of with the rollicking rocker "Lost in the Congo" and continues the high standard throughout.
Supported by a cast of excellent muscians, including Jimmie Vaughan and Adcock this CD is a must for any fan of good American roots music.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Boring
Comment: I bought this cd on the recommendation of a friend and Amazon's review. I have to agree with smiley mike; this music is very boring, plodding, repetitive. I kept waiting for all the great guitar riffs described in the review but they were few and far between and muffled by the poor mix.
If you want some great Texas guitar music check out Chris Duarte and Joe Ely.

This may be the best roadhouse-rock-and-blues-guitar album a drummer's ever made. But then again, this 40-year-veteran Austin songwriter's always had an affinity for guitarists. His first band, the Chessmen, featured Jimmie Vaughan and opened for Jimi Hendrix. Bramhall cowrote nine tunes with Jimmie's brother Stevie Ray. And his own son, Doyle II, is a six-string star who tours and records with Eric Clapton. So when the disc opens with charging chords and tremolo riffs atop a big Bo Diddley beat and closes with a prickly Texas Stratocaster serenade from Bramhall's fellow former Chessman, that's not surprising. Producer C.C. Adcock, Dylan guitarist Denny Freeman, and the junior Bramhall also get their licks in. What's unexpected is how far Bramhall stretches the genre's limits, setting "Tortured Soul" to an ambling drumbeat and atmospheric slide guitar arrangement that wobbles amiably into Tom Waits's turf. And "Chateau Strut" is a flat-out fusion instrumental, while "Cryin'" sounds like a lost doo-wop classic pinched from David Lynch's jukebox. Bramhall directs all this with his authoritative punch on drums and a dry, unadorned singing style that keeps his third solo disc direct and soulful all the way through. --Ted Drozdowski
