Even Clapton thought this was the best album of 99

This is...... I can't even put it into words. Classic doesn't cut it, masterpiece won't cover it. It simply is from a song stand point his most solid work to date. These tunes here are amazing, really showcasing Doyle as a writer. And the guitar is back to, while not the blazing Texas blues everyone pegged him for and was show cased on the Arc Angels it is here, just encased in superb songwriting and performances. This record should of been a hit, but RCa and rock radio had their heads in the sand. Chariot alone is the best blues song in a decade if not longer. This guy was and is our generations Hendrix but we missed out on it. Skipped it by, what a shame for us.

I really wish this guy would put out more stuff! I started with his last album with Smokestack and worked my way back in time to Jellycream and the Arc Angels. His songwriting is stellar, his guitar playing is a combination of awesomeness (SRV, Hendrix, et al), and what about that voice? If you like solid bluesy rock, you can't pass up this album or anything else DBIII has put out.

Continuing with the modern-day soul-blues vibe of his debut album, Doyle Bramhall II breaks down more boundaries with his second record, Jellycream. Again, he works with Wendy & Lisa and his former bandmate Charlie Sexton, but he brings Mitchell Froom into the picture, which guarantees some low-rent experimental vibes. And that does rear its ugly head on occasion throughout the album, reminding that Bramhall’s intentions are good even if he doesn’t quite know how to follow through on them just yet. Nevertheless, there are some very, very good moments throughout Jellycream, moments where he brings together the emotional force of Texas blues-rock, the melodicism of modern day soul, and the maverick spirit of a musician that wants to rewrite the rules. Those moments that work make up for the moments that don’t quite connect. – Stephen Thomas Erlewine
