RIP Doyle Bramhall: 1949-2011 Stevie Ray Vaughn's drummer.

[Lint Head]

Texas music lost a titan this weekend. Singer, songwriter and blues drummer Doyle Bramhall Sr. died early Sunday at his Alpine home of apparent natural causes. A crucial piece of the 1970s Austin blues scene, Bramhall was 62.

"He was just incredible," said friend and fellow blues scene veteran Mike Buck. "Great songwriter, great singer, great drummer, he kinda had it all."

A native of Dallas, Bramhall got his start with Jimmie Vaughan in the Chessmen, which became a popular Dallas act in 1960s.
