Doyle Bramhall II, Clapton Collaborator, Releasing Solo LP

Singer-songwriter-guitarist Doyle Bramhall will release his newest solo album, Rich Man, on September 30, via Concord Records. Bramhall, who has collaborated with the Tedeschi Trucks Band, Eric Clapton (watch below), Roger Waters and many other classic rock legends—including Sheryl Crow, Buddy Guy, Elton John, Willie Nelson, Gregg Allman, B.B. King, Allen Toussaint, Billy Preston, Erykah Badu, Questlove, Meshell Ndegeocello and Jerry Lee Lewis—has not released a solo recording in over a decade. Bramhall, whose father played drums for blues greats such as Lightnin’ Hopkins and Freddie King, will launch a national tour on October 12 (see dates below)

“I’d been writing pretty consistently for other artists and projects since my last album and had stored a lot of songs, sort of documenting my life story,” said Bramhall in a press release. “I’d been busy touring and producing for other artists, and so I took a hiatus from recording and performing as a solo artist. All those experiences actually helped me develop new skills and I learned how to facilitate my own sound. I feel like the stars finally aligned to allow me to be completely myself as an artist for the first time—singer, guitar player, songwriter, producer—and take things that were happening in my life and put them into music.”
