5.0 out of 5 stars Ronnie Baker Brooks, Chicago's Best of the Best!, October 2, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Golddigger (Audio CD)

The CD Golddigger is a labor of love and dedicated to Ronnie's fans. Also, the song titled "I'll See you Again" was writen to express his feeling and respect for recent loss of many Legendary Bluesmen and Women.

His talent and professionism as an artist and musician is displayed throughout this CD and his new CD titled "Take Me Witcha" Which I think is great and an excellent choice.

Further, you got to see Ronnie's new DVD recorded live at the Chord on Blues in St. Charles Illinois. Ronnie's performance
is a show stopper and stirs the depth of your soul with emotional and tantalizing blues mastering as only
Ronnie Baker Brooks can express. A sample (trailer) of the DVD is on his website.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT DEBUT CD!, June 6, 2000

RONNIE BAKER BROOKS, SON OF LEGENDARY LONNIE BROOKS (REAL LAST NAME BAKER) RELEASES HIS DEBUT CD ON THE INDEPENDENT LABEL--WATCHDOG RECORDS. GIVEN THE FACT THAT LONNIE RECORDS ON ALLIGATOR RECORDS AND SON RONNIE HAS PERFORMED ON SOME OF THOSE CD'S, YOU HAVE TO WONDER HOW ALLIGATOR LOST OUT ON THIS DEAL. IN ANY EVENT, ALL 12 TRACKS ARE ORIGINALS WRITTEN AND SUNG BY RONNIE BAKER BROOKS. RONNIE PERFORMS MANY OF THE TRACKS USING HIS JIMI HENDRIX SIGNATURE FENDER STRAT AND IF THAT WERE NOT ENOUGH TO LET YOU KNOW WHO HIS HEAVY INFLUENCE WAS, WAIT UNTIL YOU HEAR THAT UNMISTAKABLE HENDRIX SOUND ON "SHE'S A GOLDDIGGER". OTHER SONGS HINT AT STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN SUCH AS, "STUCK ON STUPID" AND SOME MAY EVEN HEAR A LITTLE ELVIN BISHOP THROWN IN SOME SONGS FOR GOOD MEASURE. RONNIE GETS HELP FROM DAD ON "MAKE THESE BLUES SURVIVE" AND FROM PRODUCER JELLYBEAN JOHNSON ON "MUST'VE BEEN BOUGHT". FOR A REAL TREAT CATCH RONNIE LIVE. HIS SHOWMANSHIP IS TOP NOTCH. AN EXCEPTIONAL DEBUT. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

5.0 out of 5 stars Ronnie's The Real Deal!, February 19, 2001

Last Saturday I caught Ronnie live at a small club in Connecticut, and when I say he just ripped it up, well, times two. How happy was I when I listened to the album and found it captured his sound so well: great songs, soulful voice, tight band, and well...that guitar. This is one helluva album from a true up and comer who's already seasoned past his years. And by the way, catch him live if you can; Ronnie really knows how to play to a crowd and you are absolutely guaranteed a great time. You can get on his mailing list for tour dates.
