Ronnie Baker Brooks Debut Solo CD
Now Available on the Internet
Ronnie Baker Brooks has released his long awaited and highly anticipated
solo CD titled GOLDDIGGER (WD 337:01) on the newly formed Watchdog Records label.
GOLDDIGGER was produced by Jellybean Johnson, whose previous projects
included such notable artists as Janet Jackson, Nona Hendrix, New Edition,
and many others. It was recorded at Cotton Row Recordings in Memphis, TN,
and features twelve original songs, all composed, arranged, and co-produced
by Ronnie. His legendary father, bluesman Lonnie Brooks, joined him on
the track, "Make These Blues Survive," and Jellybean Johnson is featured
on "Must've Been Bought."
Ronnie's lightning fast riffs and soulful style are influenced by a number
of genres including blues, rock, R & B and gospel. RealAudio sound samples
are available on his website at:
http://www.RonnieBakerBrooks.com,
as well as biographical, tour, and merchandise information.
At an early age, Ronnie got his first lessons in the blues. "While Dad was
writing some of his first tracks for Alligator Records, he would place
Ronnie on a mat and a bass guitar on his lap next to him. Ronnie, then knew
to strum the strings on the guitar with his tiny hands to provide Lonnie
with a rhythm backup. He finally joined his fathers band and became an
accomplished vocalist, guitarist, and song writer. His dad has given Ronnie
his blessings to "keep these blues alive."
-- Chicago Tribune -Tempo, May 5, 1998
"As you listen to his CD, you feel and hear the presence of the many blues
artists he knew and loved. You will also feel the soul that went into this
CD, and know that Ronnie will never forget to 'KEEP THESE BLUES ALIVE!'
His live performances are spirited and a show stopper all wrapped up into
one. We can expect great and wonderful things to happen for him!"
--Lonnie Brooks
