Ronnie Baker Brooks is a powerhouse Chicago blues guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter who carries the torch of a legendary musical lineage. Born into blues royalty as the son of Hall of Famer Lonnie Brooks, Ronnie didn’t just inherit the music—he lived it. He cut his teeth learning directly from master icons like B.B. King, Albert Collins, and Willie Dixon. Today, the multiple Blues Music Award winner seamlessly blends authentic Chicago roots with a high-octane mix of rock, funk, and soul. “I’m blessed to have learned from the best,” Brooks says. “I’m carrying them within me.” 🎵 LISTEN & SUPPORT THE ALBUM ▶ Listen to Album Samples (Click to Expand) Add this Record to Your Collection Available on CD and in Digital Formats. 🛒 Buy Album on Amazon Store As an Amazon Associate, Bman earns from qualifying purchases.

New Release from: Terry Blankley - Cold Weather Blues - Review

-

I just received a copy of Terry Blankley's Cold Weather Blues. The recording is made up of 10 (8 original tracks penned by Blankley or cowritten with Michael Wainwright)tracks. Blankley has assembled a tight group of musicians for this recording. At it's calmest it has the swing of Diana Krall with Blankley's "Tom Wait's" like voice and it does get up and stomp a few times! Blankley handles Keys and vocals, Michael Wainright on sax, Doug Swain on Drums and a list of other notable musicians like Frank Woodcock, John Meydam, Al Matthews, Al Lerman, Albert MacDonald, Bobby Watson and Johnny V contribute as session musicians. Although sometimes not a typical "blues" recording in that some of it is more dixieland piano in nature, it is a bluesy recording and a pleasure to listen to. There are a number of stand out instrumental sections throughout and aside from Blankley's own piano style which I like, Johnny V is unmistakable on slide.

If you want a change up from what everyone else is doing you ought to give this a spin. I've listened to it a number of times and I'll be listening to it again soon!

Enjoy
