He is the son of singer, songwriter and drummer Doyle Bramhall, who was raised with Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimmie Vaughan.
At age 16, Doyle Bramhall II toured with Jimmie Vaughan's band, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, as second guitarist. In 1992 Doyle formed Arc Angels with Charlie Sexton and Stevie Ray Vaughan's rhythm section of bassist Tommy Shannon and drummer Chris Layton (also known as Double Trouble). Doyle became Eric Clapton's second guitarist in 2004 after Andy Fairweather-Low backed out of the tour. He left Clapton's band in 2009 to reform Arc Angels.
"Doyle Bramhall II was raised in a home filled with the blues and rock and roll sounds that are indigenous to his birthplace - Austin, Texas. His father, Doyle Bramhall Senior, was the drummer for blues legend Lightning Hopkins and a regular collaborator with Jimmie and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
When Doyle was 16 years old, he toured as second guitarist with Jimmy Vaughan's band, The Fabulous Thunderbirds. Shortly thereafter he and fellow Texan, Charlie Sexton, co-founded the rock band Arc Angels. Doyle and Charlie enlisted the rhythm section from Stevie Ray Vaughan's backing band, Double Trouble, to complete the lineup. The group enjoyed critical acclaim and commercial success.
Following the release of "Jellycream," Doyle's 1999 RCA debut recording, he received phone calls from both Roger Waters and Eric Clapton. Doyle ended up joining Roger Waters for a summer tour while Clapton, along with fellow blues great B.B. King, chose two of Doyle's songs - "Marry You" and "I Wanna Be" - for their collaborative recording entitled "Riding With The King." Upon completion of the "Riding..." project, Doyle, his wife - Susannah Melvoin, and Clapton co-wrote and performed "Superman Inside" for Clapton's album, "Reptile." Doyle's playing is also heavily featured on the album.
The latest offering from Doyle Bramhall II, entitled - "Welcome" - is the purest sampling of Doyle's talents to date. Doyle entered the studio with Smokestack, the band he put together a couple of years ago, and co-producers Benmont Tench and Jim Scott to record the 12 - song set. Joining Doyle in Smokestack is J.J. Johnson on drums and bassist Chris Bruce. Susannah Melvoin contributed background vocals, Benmont Tench pulled keyboard duty and Craig Ross played second guitar.
The album, "Welcome" showcases the diversity of Bramhall's talent; from his songwriting to his intense, soulful vocals and virtuoso guitar playing. Doyle's gravity explosion can be readily heard on such tracks as the driving "Green Light Girl" and the uptempo "Soul Shaker." His dedication to the blues can be felt on tracks like "Life," "So You Want It To Rain" and "Send Some Love."
Doyle and his band are set to open for Eric Clapton on the first leg of a worldwide tour this year".

Lyrics
Trying to take it easy
You just take it so hard
If we're running together
Then we won't go far
You're looking to save me
Your words won't help
I should sail away
Found a place for myself
Nobody said it would be easy
Nobody said it would be so hard
But the river runs deep
If I thought you could help me
If I though that you can
I would tell you forever
I will always be there
Nobody said it would be easy
Nobody said it would be so hard
But the river runs deep
I'm going out on my own
I will learn to run
Time will blow it on away
Nobody said it would be easy
Nobody said it would be so hard
But now I know
I'm going out on my own
I will learn to run
Time will blow it on away

Searching for love
I'm searching
I'm searching for love

How the fuck does this only have 20,000 views? This is breathtaking and masterful.
@megrayson
I have been a fan for years, I just discovered this fabulous song, I so, love it!
@megrayson
I prefer the earlier albums but I dearly love some of this newer music as well.
@stingylizard
I would never dare to speak for Daddy Doyle, but that man would have loved this tune. I shall listen for him every chance I get,like a Good Texan should. Thanks ,II.
@gregscavuzzo5457
I love this guy, he and Charlie Sexton were all over Austin Texas when they were just kids , I would see them at the old Antone's when it was on Guadalupe, they were always shooting pool or trying to sit in , his Dad was a good drummer and songwriter, anyway he is a great guitarist and producer, glad that he is working with Clapton anyway he is wonderful and stay safe
@geneahart5607
The more I listen to this guy the more I am pleased
@1stSaintsFan
I have been pleased since the old Arc Angels days.
@moe17moe
If this was named : Norah Jones ( featuring Doyle Bramhall II ) this video would not have 90.000 but 50 to 80 million views. Like all her vids. Doyle is the man ! Ask Eric Clapton for one. Hell even Norah would tell you.
@eduartkoruni9119
I don't know what criteria must be used to classify a song as a masterpiece in each and every component, but this, without the minimal doubt, is a damn masterpiece, extremely rare, the kind of those that are written once in 50 years... Incredible amazing guitar solos by Doyle Bramhall.. a truly Certified Guitar Player and grand Master of guitar playing...
@elizabethmcleod246
You are right!
