Doyle Bramhall II- SHADES- CD- 05.10.2018- Mascot Label Group/Provogue Records- 819873017585- 400 grn
On Oct. 5, 2018 Provogue Records released SHADES, singer-songwriter and guitarist Doyle Bramhall II’s debut for the label. SHADES is a spellbinding blend of grungy blues, raucous garage rock, transcendent psychedelia, and soothing, soul-stirring ballads that sees Bramhall reaching new heights as a multi-instrumentalist (he plays guitars, bass, drums and keyboards), producer and vocalist while responding to his heart’s most urgent commands as an arranger and lyricist. What is it about Doyle Bramhall II, and why does everybody want to work with him? SHADES features a host of friends and luminaries who have all, in one way or another, played significant roles in Bramhall’s musical story: Eric Clapton, Norah Jones, The Tedeshi Trucks Band, and Austin buds The Greyhounds. Since 2000, the uniquely gifted guitarist, singer, songwriter and producer has been practically joined to Eric Clapton’s hip as both an onstage and studio collaborator. Clapton makes a notable appearance on the album, providing blistering back-and-forth guitar work with Bramhall on the quaking R&B-tinged “Everything You Need”. Bramhall and pianist-singer Norah Jones have been making music together for years, and the two form a heavenly alliance on the elegant ballad “Searching For Love.” SHADES concludes with a reverent reading of Bob Dylan’s classic “Going, Going, Gone,” a gem from the singer's 1974 album, Planet Waves. Bramhall had recently performed the song with The Tedeschi Trucks Band at a Gregg Allman tribute concert last year, and he felt that a reunion with the group would make a powerful coda on his record. It took Doyle Bramhall II 15 years to deliver Rich Man, the sequel to 2001's Welcome, but only two to follow that 2016 record with SHADES. Appropriately, SHADES feels looser than its predecessor and more direct, too. Where Rich Man was dotted with epics, Bramhall keeps things generally concise on SHADES, and he also firmly grounds the album in soul. The first sounds on SHADES may recall the thick, heavy blues grooves of the Black Keys but by the time Bramhall gets to the chorus of "Love And Pain," he spins the song into classic '60s R&B. He's too restless a musician to stay there [with The Greyhounds, he kicks up some noise on "Live Forever," The Tedeschi Trucks Band pulls out some deep blues on a cover of Bob Dylan's "Going Going Gone," and he indulges in psychedelia on "Parvanah"] but he keeps circling back to sounds steeped in Southern soul. It results in a more cohesive album than its predecessor, but it's the lack of fussiness that makes SHADES a better record: now that he's just knocking out songs and records, his music feels bracing and immediate.
