"This is a solid effort by a solid guitarist. This album reminds me A LOT of Ian Moore's "Modernday Folklore", where it mixes a lot of blues and modern day guitar-rock that is produced to a quality finish. Key standouts are "Green Light Girl" and "Cry". If you want to hear a smokin' version of "Green Light Girl", check out the live performance at Eric Clapton's Crossroads Benefits DVD where it's performed with Robert Randolph - it's an AMAZING version!!!"

"i bought this item on the basis that doyle bramhall 11 in my opinion and also the opinion of my family is a supurb artist; singer, songwrighter & guiterist. i recomend a purchase of this item and any other of his work. i think his music on this album sounds a bit like jimmy hendrix; although his work with other artists especially roger waters are a must have!"
Rock & Roll Uprise

""Welcome" sat on my wishlist for a long time. Bramhall blasts and milks the blues-flavored rock sound from his amazingly expressive guitar. The closing track "Cry" meanders by like a slow-running river with Bramhall's vocals oozing pain until his guitar bleeds emotion, "I need a place to rest my heart right now." "Last Night" is also a favorite as it chugs forcefully and then blasts out, "Love's the one thing stronger than desire & the only reason to walk from temptation." The opening track "Green Light Girl" is also classic with its electric drive, "All the boys want you, your glamour and despair; She smiles & rolls her eyes in a rock 'n roll uprise." Other tracks like "So You Want It to Rain," "Life" & "Smokestack" are also very strong. "Welcome" is an incredible rock blast well worth seeking! Enjoy!"
