Like son, like father

Doyle Bramhall and Loudon Wainright III can start a club - performers eclipsed by their offspring. Where Loudon has to cope with both Martha and Rufus, Doyle has to put up with a son who shares his name - plays hell with the Google, I tell you. The senior Doyle has played with Texas rock royalty (both ZZ Top and the Vaughan Brothers) and probably doesn't get the fame and fortune he deserves. He's also one of those rare singing drummers, so perhaps that explains it.

Doyle sings a happy song.
