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.

Cleopatra Records artist: Cactus - Temple of Blues II - New Release Review

-

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Temple of Blues II, from Cactus and it's strong blues rock...old school! Opening with Back Door Man Pt 1&2, Eric Gales leads the way on vocal and guitr with Artie Dillon on rhythm guitar, Billy Sheehan on bass and featuring the driving drum work of Carmine Appice. Super. Pat Travers is featured on lead and slide guitar on Moanin' At Midnight with Ed Terry on vocal, Dillon on rhythm guitar, Jim Caputo on bass and Appice on organ and drums. Travers style really give the track a great bluesy feel, really grinding in. Very cool. Ron Bumblefoot Thal on guitar leads the way on Tokin Chokin', a fun, country pop rocker with edge. Terry handles vocals and with plenty of splash cymbals by Appice, and Johnny Rod on bass, Bumblefoot really sails on slide. Tail Dragger has a Brit blues rock feel with Terry on vocal and Rockin Jake on harp. Appice's driving drum line with Rudy Sarzo on bass, gives guitarist Alex Skolnick a cool rocking rhythm to jam on. Willie Dixon's Spoonful features Ted Nugent on guitars with Terry on vocal. Bob Daisley on bass and Appice on drums really give the track an assault feel and I really like it. Wrapping the release is Feel So Good with a heavier rock feel. It features Rob Caudill on vocals, Tommy Thayer, Artie Dillon and Britt Lightning on guitars, Sheehan on bass, Marty Paoletta on keys and of course Appice on drums. A solid closer for a cool blues rocking release.
