Lonnie Brooks: Live From Chicago- Bayou Lightning Strikes: CD

You can tell a lot about Lonnie Brooks from Live From Chicago- Bayou Lightning Strikes (1988): it's a blues album with a clear point of view. Lonnie Brooks was an American blues singer and guitarist. The musicologist Robert Palmer, writing in Rolling Stone, stated, "His music is witty, soulful and ferociously energetic, brimming with novel harmonic turnarounds, committed vocals and simply astonishing guitar work." Jon Pareles, a music critic for the New York Times, wrote, "He sings in a rowdy baritone, sliding and rasping in songs that celebrate lust, fulfilled and unfulfilled; his guitar solos are pointed and unhurried, with a tone that slices cleanly across the beat.

A keeper, plain and simple.
