[Slowhand] RE: Doyle as opening act for Clapton

[ToeKneeF]

Sorry, Steve, I don't think it was the volume. His sound was muddy and 
quite frankly there was not much to say about the caliber of his 
performance. While suffering through his opening set, I was struck by 
how weak his singing was and his solos were unimaginative and one 
dimensional. I bought the Arc Angels CD and was not impressed. Then, 
based on his association with EC, I bough the Jellycream CD, again not 
impressed at all. I just can't see what all the fuss is about. Its a 
shame, because he does have the lineage, but I guess he is just not 
front-man material.

If you want to hear some really kick-ass music from a Bramhall, listen 
to one of his father's CDs. Doyle II fares better in a supporting role, 
as his contribution to Fitchburg Street, his dad's latest CD, shows. 
Doyle Sr. can sing rings around his progeny propelling his material to 
some dizzying heights.
