💿 ALBUM REVIEW: Ronnie Baker Brooks - Blues In My DNA

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.

Impetus Records artist: Masha Campagne - Alegre Menina - New Release Review

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Alegre Menina, by Masha Campagne and it's quite enjoyable. Opening with Brazilian flavored, Bahia Com, Masha Campagne delivers nicely on vocal creating a very soothing feel. Ricardo Peixoto on guitar adds clean, articulated soloing backed by Scott Thompson on bass Rafael Barata on drums, and Brian Rice on percussion. Strong opener.  Coracao Vagabundo is up next with Campagne's vocals floating on a soft samba rhythm. Peixoto creates a beautiful acoustic guitar solo adding just the right contrast for this track. Cobra Criada is a really cool track with an unusual time signature. I really like Peixoto's electric work on this track which is both tasty and exciting, Scott Thompson on bass adds a cool solo of his own, and Barata's drum rhythm is exceptional. Wrapping the release is Estrada Do Sol with colorful accompaniment by Frank Martin on piano nicely complimenting Campagne on vocal. His soloing is crisp and clear adding a minimal yet essential component to this excellent closer.
