Deluxe Edition
rounds up 15 highlights from
Lonnie Brooks'
late-'70s and '80s recordings for Alligator. Like many Alligator artists,
Brooks
made records that were just a little too slick to demonstrate the depth of his talents and the grittiness of his playing, yet they still remained solid, rock-inflected contemporary blues albums. The bulk of the highlights from his records are here, making it a fine introduction to
Brooks'
most popular recordings. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
