Personnel

Album review

Doyle Bramhall has really stepped up vocally on his second solo album, Jellycream. Lyrically this disc was considered improved over his debut solo disc, and he’s demonstrated a continued commitment to modern-day soul-blues vibe. This rocker from Texas has combined several different styles of music into one album with help from keyboardist Mitchell Froom, and ex-bandmates Chris Layton and Charlie Sexton. “Overall, the album is worth a listen. Bramhall is tight and driving, but can at times be subtly forceful, with underlying parts that really drive the song, while the stuff that jumps out at you can be less than fiery. All of this adds up to a strong album on the whole” (Brad Engler). It is definitely an improvement from his last album and has made him visible in the music scene.[4]
