Even after all these years I find myself going back to watch clips of the Arc Angels – perhaps one of the best blues power groups ever assembled and yet they only stayed together for such a short time.
I suppose it’s no surprise that the mega rhythm sections of all time (SRV’s Double Trouble) combined with solid Charlie Sexton and the infinitely creative Doyle Bramhall II grew beyond the Arc Angels – each having such independent personalities, each a star in his own right.
But man…the songs they gave us were sweet.
When it comes to taking blues guitar to the next level, we can only hope that the Arc Angels collaborate once again, it would be a blast to see what comes out.
Until then, here is an early Double Trouble, Charlie Sexton and Doyle Bramhall II gig and “Say One Thing”
