Rebekka Ruth Lazone Bramlett (born April 19, 1968) is an American singer. She is the daughter of Delaney and Bonnie Bramlett, of the music duo Delaney & Bonnie.[1] Currently, she is a session singer, songwriter, and backing vocalist, working with many artists, including Faith Hill, Robert Plant, Trace Adkins, Faster Pussycat, Buddy Guy, Vince Gill, and Sam Moore.
Bramlett started her recording career at the age of four when she was enlisted to sing background vocals on her father's song, "California Rain". In the 1980s, Bramlett began recording demos and later secured a gig as a backing vocalist for Belinda Carlisle on her 1987 tour. She also befriended Jani Lane of Warrant and later sang on the band's debut solo album, Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich.[2]
She has been a member of Mick Fleetwood's band the Zoo (1991–1992), Fleetwood Mac (1993–1995),[1][3] and the country duo Bekka & Billy, with Billy Burnette (1996–1998). She released a solo album of demo work in 2002 for fans who attended her shows.
