I think it may be an Ibanez 335 copy. I'll ask him the next time I see him. He uses a 345 and 355 stereo now.

Can anybody identify carl's guitar?

Moses Rutues on the drums is my Uncle

Carl Weathersby would be a superstar in a more fair world. Few Blues players can equal his ability on the guitar and his vocals are great. Combined with his stage presence as a performer he's as good if not better than anybody else on the scene today.

Mr. Branch,

You are a pleasure to listen to and aspire to as a musician. I love your music (putting it mildly) and listen to it every day. Thank you for sharing these videos with the world. If you hadn't I would have never heard these great songs. thanks again.

Outstanding, Carl Weathersby is so underrated and vastly talented, and Billy Branch is among the greatest on harmonica. Thank you for posting!
