[@KeeneSound65]

This is what America . Gives to the WORLD. a very specialized Gumbo of sound that could only come from here. in the U.S.A. Deep . History. its all here. Peace.

[@timhaight8021]

Still listening to this great song in 2024!

[@stevendolinsky]

January 28th....1993... the night I met my wife and the night we saw Doyle Bramhall and The Arc Angels at Tramps in New York City....I will never forget that night....you opened up with Living in a Dream.... we will forever be connected to you. Love your new sound....can't wait to see you again.

[@thereverendepi_gee565]

1989.. I met SRV and double trouble.. life changing..

[@jemmaholloway9354]

I love the fact that he has James Gadson on drums that man is a legend his wrist work is impeccable

[@joeblow4785]

"Your Mamma cant help you no more believe it" says the awesome drummer !!!!!!!!!

[@adanacman666]

why is this guy not 1000x more famous than anybody else out there, is there no justice

[@macreviewz7187]

absolutely epic! James Gadson, so cool! no frills... the world needs more of that...no botox...kardashian swollen mouth..alicia keys cheek injections.. all that posing... this whole 'movie' indie look is just epic! Go Bramhall boy..go...!!! u already got the afro brother!

[@leehammond8315]

This is BOMB! James Gadson killin it on drums. I've been playin bass 50 years and never heard of Abe Rounds on bass so had to look him up. Turns out he's a drummer. Explains why he's totally in the pocket on bass. Real music is still alive! Gotta quit typing and go back and listen again.

[@theloniouscoltrane3778]

Ed Sheeran is real music...just kidding

[@MAGAMANPATRIOT]

Lee Hammond , you got that right they are all burning it up..gotta have that rhythm and they got it.

[@timothyjlefebvre3962]

That’s me on bass actually

[@moldyfig]

@@timothyjlefebvre3962 You look different on this one, Tim! 🤣🤣🤣

[@magnum7581]

Yeah, because Lord knows that those of us who play bass as our primary are incapable of playing in the pocket. -smdh-

[@garycarter1135]

June 2022 and this music still kicks ass and takes names.

[@georgesabie3110]

Doyle is an extraordinary musician

[@kentborges5114]

WHAT A KILLER GROOVE !

[@urusoimi]

one of the few things that makes me proud to be an American in the last 6 months? . ........this dude and this song ! oh and that drummer! ....and that bass player................and of course that mama who CAN help me singing that chorus.

[@fredungaretta8265]

60's, 70's, 80's and most of the 90's came and went and I'm thinking all the great ones have been heard, Then..., DB III pretty much came out of nowhere ( Texas actually ), and saved the day, the decade and all this time since. This cat is the shit.

[@jeffpblues]

The man has a unique sense of rhythm and melody and lyrics.

[@toemanification]

why isn't this all over the radio ????? don't get much better than this groove and those lyrics..........play it radio people !!!!!!

[@ACE-us4oh]

My thoughts too🤔

[@dandy_handy_mandy]

On repeat!!

[@luigicalzone1558]

Probably it’s to long for radio 😂 and there is a guitar solo in it 😂😂

[@austntexan]

I'll never understand why Doyle has never made it bigger than he has. Great voice. I saw him at Stubbs once, I was right in front of his superbass and a bigassed monitor and nearly went deaf that night but it was incredible. Arc Angle reunion gig I think. So good.

[@texasmr2]

Doyle killed it in Houston with the Arc Angels and with Roger Waters back in the day.

[@thethorax1]

Gregg Travis Austin too

[@oscarbrian3909]

This album is pure genius.

[@tresmegistes]

Vibe at 2.40 knocks me out

[@draper858]

I can’t stop listening to this!!! Funky badass song. Is there a whole record???

[@robertlee4809]

This is the funk I needed!!!

[@stratjammer80]

I love the chords, the people, the lyrics, the strat, Jame's drums, the bass the the hook.

[@renanoliveira9578]

This drummer rocks!

[@reneemishel]

Wow!!! Soul food!!.... luxury nowadays!!! Thank God! Lovvveeeee it!!! Thankful I found and thank you artists!💕

[@mikem4905]

Doyle must've learned to play on a right handed guitar. Plays a lefty now, but still strung upside down as if he was playing a right handed guitar! Wow, love it!!

[@gregoryfortenberry741]

Mr. James is a mo-town soul machine, played with and on everything outta that era.

[@ACE-us4oh]

What a great track. It’s mind blowing to fathom that this doesn’t get more airplay! What a talented group of players💯

[@J.Sanity]

Probably because he's actually in it for the music and isnt corruptible and controllable. The underrated artists are always the best especially live... IMO

[@angelataylor9442]

I swear somebody wrote that song, just for me...just for today. Sums up the current situation to a "T". I have listened to it repeatedly. I am a vocalist, and am learning it for my next karaoke run

[@jeffpblues]

"with my heart in the dirt, and my clothes in the yard" Pure blues. DB2 is one of my favorites.

[@1baddab]

Been listening to music 50 years. This is the shit

[@beachcomber4141]

2:17 That is the coolest guitar solo I have seen in years!!!!

[@arkantika6881]

looks like the same studio james gadson recorded "running away" with Vulfpeck.!!!!! Righteous!!!

[@FortiniIII]

James Gadson kills this!

[@jttansin]

Best thing Ive heard in years.

[@XOY321]

Insane guitar tone/sound solo

[@jerryjemmott3259]

My students have the best taste! The Legendary James Gadson rockin' the groove. Thanks Billy K.

[@zantrex4]

Those drums sound MASSIVE 😍😍😍

[@VincenzoPickatelli]

James Gadson on drums.

[@notebender5073]

From Memphis Tn. Awesome tasteful groove with spice!! Tasteful guitar without showboating. Playing for the song and bringing the heat! This is music!! Thanks Doyle! Memphis musicians are supporting you Texas brother.

[@jameslumpkin3334]

GodBless brother I grew up 60 miles South of Memphis in the Arkansas Delta and got to see EVERYONE at the Mid-South Coliseum. My first was Elvis. When the British Bands came to America they didn’t give a shit about playing NY or LA…. Memphis was the Mecca

[@maharmusicstudio1733]

Best mix! Whenever I feel cocky, thinking I’m pretty good. I listen to this and realize. James Gadson and all are so groove.

[@HalJayGreene]

This is as good as the blues gets. Perfectly realized. And that drummer is the man!

[@VincenzoPickatelli]

The one and only James Gadson on drums..... at 78 years young.

[@simonlj1]

The 60 people who gave this a thumbs down, obviously have a shit load of wax in their ears, seriously !!!

[@kirbysewell6918]

One of the highlights of 2017 for me was experiencing this man's presence at the Big Blues Bender! He truly is an amazing musician with such a soul and authentic delivery. #BigBluesBenderRocks!

[@moparedtn]

So many layers of pure, simple magic here. Just listen to all the backing melodies DBII is playing. Marvelous stuff.

[@vonsydow5196]

Dude i wanna cgill with them. Doyle still has it. That drummer badass

[@danielwaters6654]

Holy crap!! Thank you so much.

[@JoAnnJohnson-s8t]

Many Hats off to you My Dear Doyle BramhallII!!!! Love All Yours!! & Your Music Too!! Outstanding!! JoJo/JoAnn M. Johnson Thank You For Pure Enjoyment!! Ears & Eyes Love It!!& Heart too!!

[@JoAnnJohnson-s8t]

[@thestrumpets1858]

Your dad wrote one of , maybe the , most beautiful and heartfelt and happy and sad simultaneously songs of all time

[@NinjaMonster3000]

Which song?

[@thestrumpets1858]

Life by the drop

[@pointuout2020]

Saw Doyle with Arc’s at the last show at the Backyard in Austin, ATX along time ago! It was cold as hell, missed all the shows at the Steamboat!

[@raulplaysbass4865]

A groove so big you can land a 747 on it! Great stuff

[@DrD.777]

Doyle assembles some FunKantastic synergy here .. Gadson on drums & Abe Rounds on bass 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@allesgitarre5263]

This is so great! It has clear roots, but is modern at the same time.

[@Quinnster7]

TIGHT and REAL.

[@joelsimms4636]

Pne of the best drummets in the business

[@scottbenden6705]

funky shit!! love it....there is hope for us 60s n 70s dreamers who thought it was lost forever.

[@dougieslats3156]

Gorgeous pocket and instruments. This is IT! Wow!

[@MikeErrico]

I'm still not over this groove

[@maureenandgeoffbrown353]

the man and the blues voice!!

[@7633J]

Bramhall rocks. I discovered him back in 2K and he doesn't disappoint.

[@cuincr]

"So why you still stirrin' up s#@t now?" Love this song!

[@themayor6836]

Freakin awesome -- DBII kicking ass baby

[@sonnyeast3862]

I wish that solo was 10 x longer I could hear this guy rip all day !

[@f.p.6176]

It's got swing, it's got soul… I love it.

[@minibikeriders1]

Doyle, you are a gift. . you are making Pops and Stevie proud :

[@Stratoblastification]

Fantastic song, fantastic recording.

[@joeybenoit6269]

Listen to this track! He will definitely break it down to you!! I guarantee it! I'll put money on it! You can only break it down one way! Let mr. Bramhall II break it down! God bless!

[@markdavey8809]

How good is the groove

[@simonlj1]

Bad ass drummer is that man

[@brettwoodmusic]

Gets more bad ass with every listen. You sir - are doing your influences and the greats that came before you proud

[@chrismc.4437]

Doyle, real life time traveler for pure funky groove. Is it 1973 or is he just this brilliant? Right on!!

[@mikedaniels193]

Hey Doyle, great progression! Some times the bull walls down the hill. simple, started in 78 love your double meanings . We think in ar right mind and I will be going to China soon

[@robertmantell1700]

I thought I was a Doyle B fan all these years, turns out maybe not lol...I never realized he played guitar with it strung upside down. That always fascinates me, him, Eric Gales now too. Wild stuff!!

[@thomasgraben123]

Lovely stuff - good to see and hear him doing his own thing and not staying in the shadow of lesser artists. Magic guitarist.

[@waltgdrums1]

Yes! James Gadson. Nice groove and tune by Doyle.

[@jameswalls9468]

Doyle is one hell of a musician, VERY impressed with his talent. Haven't really cared much for his solo stuff but this is a good one. He comes across as more "seasoned" and this tune has a good sound. My only complaint is not hearing enough of his gnarly guitar solos in this tune. Doyle, the hell with time limits, stretch it out and show off you skill !!!

[@paulhendersun6525]

Dag- haven't heard anything this good in a while- has a Gregg Allman writing flavor- want to catch this dude live. Left handed guitar plays like a slide without the slide. dig it.

[@capaneo]

He actually playing it upside down. He got right handed strings on a left handed guitar and is playing it upside down like Albert King

[@Chickenpickenfool]

His dad was a hell of a songwriter/musician. Wrote many songs with & for Stevie Ray Vaughan. Doyle was raised at the alter of good soul stirring greasy blues/ funk music. SRV was like his big bro! You can tell he was soaking it up watching & listen as a kid. Love this dude

[@didiervincent5252]

Moi j'écoute ce mec depuis plusieurs années et franchement j'aime ce qu'il fait. Montez le son ! vive le groove ! Biz endjoy it .

[@dsiggers7102]

Crazy Sligh mix funk, blues, rock...smooth intoxicatin' Doyle is off the chain runnnin' loose'

[@emilloffler1216]

Brilliant, guitar work and harmonies excellent.

[@ireneruthfox]

Some people just have it.......Doyle has it. Great track.

[@roxdazey]

Amen. New music from Doyle! Been a long time coming!

[@richardheadrick1097]

Junior is today's Soul Captain

[@teleblaster81]

YES! Just pre-ordered the album; can't wait to hear the rest. Memphis misses ya, Doyle!

[@kpottersr]

I loved everything about this cut! Awesome!!!

[@leonardo_patrick]

So cool 😎🎸

[@jeffpblues]

The rhythm section just kills!

[@markparry4464]

I play this track every year.. Blows me up.. Winner! Total get right with yourself track!

[@sanbertei]

Que p.... groove. Doyle Bramhal e James Gadson. Perfeito.

[@rscottenglish]

One of the best grooves I've heard in a long time and the tonal colors!!!WOW

[@pennywright1111]

This sound is incredible!! Can't wait to see him live!

[@georgechapogas1054]

It just gets better re-listening. Kinda like listening to Bobby Bland or Al king. just better and better. It IS the groove.

[@dancavalcanti4199]

Was just about to write the same thing: it just doesn't stop getting better.

[@aizuchi1183]

Sooooo good, so soulful and timeless - love this groove

[@buddyhyatt1]

THIS IS REAL MUSIC

[@darrellbrock9675]

Doyle's picking carries a lot of information with each note. Not since Climax Blues Band have I've heard picking this good!

[@gordgrob3299]

I had the pleasure of meeting Doyle for the second time in my life recently, and drove 7 hours through a snow storm last month just to see him play his only Canadian show. This man is incredibly talented & one of the coolest musicians in the biz. I highly recommend his latest CD/Album "Rich Man" to everyone, and if he's playing anywhere near you in the future, go and see him play live, you won't regret it!

[@dockrock64]

where in canada did he play? I would do a road trip to see him for sure

[@rickb4806]

Where Buffalo?

[@rickb4806]

@@dockrock64 We saw him at the Tralf Music Hall in Buffalo. Awesome show, small venue.

[@mayemcdonald9111]

Rick B It is near Niagara Falls, Ontario.

[@jo.oliver.artist]

Cool song, artist and groove! Really like that song...

[@erichoffert9805]

The groove is so fine

[@jmzez3847]

Enjoyed that very very much. In fact, I loved it. Please continue and thank you.

[@helenhenson907]

I really like this song. Finally found it again. Thank you.

[@Frank00064]

There's always something magic around the Doyle's music. As he is producer and musician, he knows how to get the attention from the audience. In this case the quality of the video looks like a one from the 70s, the musicians are all very charismatic and also the beautiful girl. The music and the musicians just great.
