Ronnie has officially launched his solo career with this fine
collection of in-your-face Blues songs that prove Ronnie’s ready to go
out on his own.
Ronnie has had the fortune of growing up on
the road with one of the all-time great Blues families. Lonnie’s gentlemanly ways rub
off on Ronnie, but you have to hand it to Ronnie for his independent charge on this album.
The impression you get from this strong debut is that Ronnie wasn’t just mentored by
Lonnie, but by Jimi, Buddy, Albert, Elvin, Junior, Luther and Koko too. The CD demands
listening interest with a variety of styles tied together by Ronnie’s stinging
Stratocaster.
Golddigger is a great launch for
Ronnie’s already brilliant career that officially started in 1986 as the rhythm
guitarist in the Lonnie Brooks Band. For 13 years, Ronnie supported his Dad as rhythm
guitarist trading licks back and forth. Ronnie proved at the Blues on the Fox kick-off
performance last June at the Paramount Theatre that he was ready to showcase his talents
as a band leader.
This CD is a partying pleasure and we should
look forward to more from Ronnie in the future.
You can purchase the CD directly from
Watchdog Records, P.O. Box 68, Worth, IL 60482 or from Ronnie’s web site at
