💿 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.

Rolled and Tumbled - Rosalie Hill

Image
Rosalie Hill was Blind Sid Hemphill’s guitar playing daughter and was recorded in 1959 by Alan Lomax. At that time it was considered quite dangerous for a woman to play guitar in front of an audience (believed by some to have something to do with the phallic nature of the guitar neck) and Hill herself confessed to Lomax that she did indeed feel ‘funny’ about doing it, despite her obvious skills.
