-
Image
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.

Born, Raised & LIVE From Flint pulls favorites from the band’s two albums, including their self-titled Bloodshot debut from 2010 (https://www.bloodshotrecords.com/album/whitey-morgan-and-78s), plus three previously unrecorded songs. The recording captures a rowdy night of live music, dancing, and plenty of whiskey swilling from the band’s home-turf venue, The Machine Shop in Flint, MI. The set includes covers of Johnny Paycheck’s “Cocaine Train,” Johnny Cash’s “Bad News,” and Bruce Springsteen’s “I’m On Fire.”

The full track listing includes:

  1. Buick City (LISTEN)
