Lonnie Brooks (born Lee Baker Jr., December 18, 1933) is an
American blues singer and guitarist. He was born in Dubuisson,
Louisiana. Rolling Stone described his music as «witty, soulful and
ferociously energetic, brimming with novel harmonic turnarounds,
committed vocals and simply astonishing guitar work». The New York
Times adds, «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.
Wearing a cowboy hat, he looks like the embodiment of a good-time
bluesman». Billboard added «Lonnie Brooks is a fiery guitarist and
singer».
