Thanks for bringing up Erik Brann. One of my favorite players. He has such a great style
not really rooted in blues. I.B. gets a lot of flak but if you listen to the albums, the stuff he does is truly amazing same with the band.
I think he was a violin player first, then joined I.B. after only playing guitar for 3 months!!! he replaced Danny Weiss i think, Danny played on the first album with one of
the great I.B. songs "Iron Butterfly Theme" (have no fear he also played Mosrite). When Erik left the band it took two guitarist to replace him! Then he reformed the band in the 70's for couple albums which are great also. So anyway check them out dig little deeper into their catalog and I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
