Doyle Bramhall II is a critically acclaimed solo artists, guitar player, and producer who has won the respect of guitarists the likes of Eric Clapton. Currently producing a record for Sheryl Crow, Doyle recently shared with Guitar.com his secret for writing songs on the go:

"My home studio is my iPhone and my studio application is FourTrack. I've actually done pretty much everything, all of my production ideas including the entire Sheryl Crow album, on my iPhone. We actually used some of the files from the FourTrack off my iPhone and it ended up making the final cut of Sheryl's album. I travel all the time so my home studio is my iPhone." - Doyle Bramhall II
