GD it. That's quite enough taking my friends for a while Mr Death.

This month has sucked.

He was scheduled to play in Dallas this month.

RIP Doyle.

Damn.

Something had to ruin my birthday.

RIP Doyle


If you ever get a chance to see his son's band (Arc Angels) play, do so.

Sad news indeed.

Oh wow. Damn. That's a hell of a loss.

Rest In Peace, bluesman.

I quit drinking 20 years ago. During the first several years of my sobriety, I carried the lyrics to Life By The Drop in my wallet. That song helped me along the way. Thank you and R.I.P., Mr. Bramhall.

Life by the Drop is one of my favorite SRV tracks.

When I read SRV, I thought it would be that guy, on the back of his first album, with the tremendous false teeth.

That's too bad. Saw him SRV & Double Trouble once, a great musician, and half responsible for Doyle Bramhall II, one of my favorite guitar players.

/Smokestack & Arc Angels FTW

Bummed my first greenlight was announcing the death of a family friend. (OK- husband's family)

Only met Doyle once, when he and wife visited Seattle in '05. Anyone willingly entertaining my 18 mo old son with Donald Duck impersonations is gold in my book. RIP Big Doyle.

I met Doyle years ago when I still lived in DFW and was active in the local music scene. Hell of a musician, and hell of a nice guy. He will be missed.

Saw him get on stage with Jimmie Vaughan at one of Jimmie's gigs in Dallas Alley once, and it kicked ass.

Man that sucks. Listening to "Life by The Drop" still brings me to tears today, now even moreso. RIP Doyle.

When I saw that he was 62, I gots confused as I forgot the one in Arc Angel's was the second Doyle

This is horrible news. Dude was talented as hell.

Damn, and I left halfway through his set on July 22nd. I had the whole family there, and was getting tired myself.

"Life By The Drop" is haunting to listen to when you know the story of what happened to Stevie, yet is still awesome in its subtle cool. Context is needed:

It's kind of like, "I'm gonna die. Someday, you're going to die, too. But we've got good memories and we should enjoy it when we get the chance to be together."

I know there are a a lot of Stevie fanboys out there. I guess I'm one of them.

This is so sad to hear. He and Barbara are truly humble, extremely nice people. I will miss him dearly.

Nope. That's his son.

Mike Judge (Beavis and Butthead) used to play bass in Doyle's band.
