Doyle Bramhall II
[ROCK] The last time Doyle Bramhall was in the Buffalo area, Mother Nature cheated him. For the summer 2015 Wheels of Soul Tour gig at Artpark, which featured the Tedeschi Trucks Band, concertgoers waited out torrential downpours under shelters scattered throughout the venue’s grounds before a cloud-clearing got the gates to finally open. The late Sharon Jones performed, but Bramhall’s early set got cut due to lost time. He’ll fare better when he plays at the Tralf Music Hall on Saturday, February 11 in support of his Concord release, Rich Man, which came out last fall. Largely a tribute to his dad, blues great Doyle Bramhall senior, the disc is all originals written in the wake of his 2011 death with the exception of a cover of Jimi Hendrix’s “Hear My Train A Comin’.” There are exceptions, however: the infectiously funky opener “Mama Can’t Help You No More,” seems like an obvious dig at a greedy ex. Norah Jones shows up to sing on one track, and members of both TTB and the Dap Kings lend themselves throughout. Bramhall is a classic case of the rock and roll underdog to see the list of albums he’s played on reveals his stature as a sought after session guitarist, but on Rich Man – a soulful, horn-laden tour de force – he shines on his own terms.
