RONNIE BAKER BROOKS stopped by "The Upper Room with Joe Kelley" this week to debut tracks from his new CD, Take Me Witcha. Ronnie Baker Brooks is the son of Blues Legend Lonnie Brooks. He is best known as one of Chicago's "Best of the Best," with exciting vocals and rhythmic blistering sounds.

Through Ronnie's creativeness and powerful growth as a recording artist, composer, producer, and musician, once again we see him reach into his bag to create songs that are mixed with blues, funk, r&b, and rock.This demonstrates Ronnie's versatility and makes him original.

Take Me Witcha has an impressive list of guest performers. Produced by Ronnie and production veteran Jellybean Johnson (the Time), the release features 15 original tracks, and was recorded at Angel Beach Studios in Minneapolis, MN and Cotton Row Studios in Memphis, TN. Take Me Witcha showcases powerful performances from three outstanding rhythm sections: former New Power Generation's (Prince) Michael Bland, Sonny Thompson, andChance Howard (currently with Morris Day & The Time); Ernest Williamson,
Dave Smith, and Steve Potts (from "Golddigger"); and Vic Jackson, DarylCoutts, and Jerry Porter (Buddy Guy), Ronnie's current touring band. Stephanie Bolton provides the soulful background vocal (Lenny Kravitz).

Some great highlights of the interview include: Ronnie discussing his special musical relationship with esteemed producer Jellybean Johnson, working in Minneapolis with Michael Bland, Sonny Thompson, and Chance from the Time, hanging out in the Paisley Park studios with Prince, Morris Day and Terry Lewis, relating a real musician's take on Prince's Rainbow Children, working with his dad and brother throughout the years, and of course, some funny
touring tales which make for a very interesting interview.
