Description

ERIC CLAPTON'S RIGHT-HAND MAN RELEASES NEW STUDIO ALBUM This album from the guitarist, singer, and songwriter, his first for the Mascot label, follows his fourth record "Rich Man," released in 2016 to great critical acclaim! In the years between his solo albums, Bramhall has established himself as one of the most sought-after guitarists on the planet, playing with artists of the caliber of Roger Waters, Elton John, Gregg Allman, Allen Toussaint, Sheryl Crow, Billy Preston, the Tedeschi Trucks Band, Erykah Badu, and Questlove. But it is primarily as the right-hand man to the legendary Eric Clapton, both in the studio and on stage, that Bramhall has made his mark over the past decade. Recorded primarily in Brooklyn and Los Angeles, "Shades" is a captivating blend of grungy blues, gritty garage rock, transcendent psychedelia, and soulful ballads with which Bramhall reaches new heights as a musician, producer, singer, arranger, and composer! It's worth noting that Bramhall plays guitar, bass, drums, and even keyboards! Alongside Bramhall on "Shades" are a host of top-tier musicians he has worked with over the years: bassist Chris Bruce, multi-instrumentalist Adam Minkoff, and drummers Carla Azar and Abe Rounds. Finally, we note the presence of prestigious guests who have all played a significant role in Bramhall's musical career: Eric Clapton, Norah Jones, the Tedeschi Trucks Band, and his Austin buddies, the Greyhounds.
