Brooks' groove
Chicago is like Hollywood. Most of the Chicago blues musicians were “immigrants” native of the Deep South states. Lonnie Brooks was no exception. The Louisiana born Texas blues slinger, the bayou lightning man, migrated to Chicago in 1960, bringing with him his energetic mix of Southeast Texas and Louisiana swamp blues and rock'n'roll (honed in particular in Clifton Chenier's band in the 1950s), and… his iconic Stetson cowboy hat. Logically he signed with Alligator Records that certainly reminded him his native swamp country.
