Willie Dixon, Koko Taylor and, most significantly, his father. "I'm blessed to have played with and learned from the best. I'm carrying them within me," he says of all the legends he knew growing up and the journey he's been on.
With his new Alligator Records debut, Blues In My DNA, Ronnie delivers an up-to-the-minute, masterpiece. The album, the fifth of his career, is firmly rooted in the blues with Ronnie incorporating his own brand of rock, funk and soul to the mix. "I just play what I feel," he says. "It's all from the heart." Produced by famed studio wizard Jim Gaines (who has produced Santana, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Lonnie Brooks, Luther Allison and many others), Blues In My DNA is a career-defining statement from Baker Brooks, with each of the 11 original songs its own chapter in his ever-evolving story.
