I'm carrying them within me," he says of all the legends he knew growing up and the journey he's been on.

The album, the fifth of his career, is firmly rooted in the blues with Ronnie incorporating his own brand of rock, funk and soul to the mix. âI just play what I feel,â he says. âItâs all from the heart.â Produced by famed studio wizard Jim Gaines (who has produced Santana, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Lonnie Brooks, Luther Allison and many others), 'Blues In My DNA' is a career-defining statement from Baker Brooks, with each of the 11 original songs its own chapter in his ever-evolving story. ððšð§ð§ð¢ð ððšðšð€ ð¡ðšðŠð ðð¡ð«ðð ðððð ðð¥ð®ðð¬ ðð®ð¬ð¢ð ðð°ðð«ðð¬ ð¢ð§ðð¥ð®ðð¢ð§ð : "ððšð§ðððŠð©ðšð«ðð«ð² ðð¥ð®ðð¬ ðð«ðð¢ð¬ð ðð ðð¡ð ðððð«" (ððð¥ð); "ððšð§ðððŠð©ðšð«ðð«ð² ðð¥ð®ðð¬ ðð¥ðð®ðŠ ðð ðð¡ð ðððð«" (ððšð« 'ðð¥ð®ðð¬ ðð§ ðð² ððð'); ðð§ð "ððšð§ð ðð ðð¡ð ðððð«" ððšð« ðð¡ð ðð¢ðð¥ð ðð«ððð€.

He received his first guitar from his famous father at age nine and learned the instrument as he got older, sharing his time between playing basketball and focusing on his music. After high school, he joined his fatherâs bandâas a roadie. He earned his way slowly up the ladder, listening, watching and learning. At one show, Koko Taylor pulled him aside as he was loading the gear into the van and told him, âYou learn from your daddy everything you can. And one day, itâll be up to you to carry the blues forward.â ððšð§ð§ð¢ð ðð¯ðð§ðð®ðð¥ð¥ð² ðð¥ð¥ðšð°ðð ððšð§ð§ð¢ð ððš ð©ð¥ðð² ððð¬ð¬ ð°ð¢ðð¡ ðð¡ð ððð§ð ððððšð«ð ðð«ð¢ð§ð ð¢ð§ð ð¡ð¢ðŠ ðšð§ ðð¬ ð¡ð¢ð¬ ðð®ð¥ð¥-ðð¢ðŠð ð¬ðððšð§ð ð ð®ð¢ððð«ð¢ð¬ð. Ronnie made his recording debut on Lonnieâs 'Live From Chicago: Bayou Lightning Strikes' album in 1988. In 1991, he hit the road as part of The Alligator Records 20th Anniversary Tour band, backing Lonnie, Elvin Bishop, and Katie Webster. Each night, heâd join them, along with Koko Taylor and Lilâ Ed Williams, for unforgettable blues jams. ðð§ ðð¡ð ð¬ð®ðŠðŠðð« ðšð ðððð, ððšð§ð§ð¢ð ð£ðšð¢ð§ðð ððšð§ð§ð¢ð, ððšð€ðš ðð§ð ðð®ð§ð¢ðšð« ððð¥ð¥ð¬ ððšð« ðð¡ð ð.ð. ðð¢ð§ð ðð¥ð®ðð¬ ð ðð¬ðð¢ð¯ðð¥ ððšð®ð«, ðð«ðð¯ðð¥ð¢ð§ð ðð¡ð ððšð®ð§ðð«ð². He watched King perform again and again. One night after the show, King told Ronnie, âSon, Iâm watching you watch me. You learn everything you can from all of us, especially your dad. Heâs as good as me or better; we just have different styles.â Ronnie performed with his father for 12 years, gaining valuable experience and sharing stages with artists including Taj Mahal, Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, and many others. During this time, his guitar skills continued to grow along with his songwriting and performing confidence. ððŠðšð§ð ðð¡ð ðŠðð§ð² ð¥ðð¬ð¬ðšð§ð¬ ððšð§ð§ð¢ð ð¥ððð«ð§ðð ð ð«ðšð°ð¢ð§ð ð®ð© ð°ðð¬ ððš ððšð«ð ð ð¡ð¢ð¬ ðšð°ð§ ð¢ððð§ðð¢ðð², ððš ð°ð«ð¢ðð ð¡ð¢ð¬ ðšð°ð§ ð¬ðšð§ð ð¬, ððš ð©ð¥ðð² ð¡ð¢ð¬ ðšð°ð§ ðð«ðð§ð ðšð ðð¥ð®ðð¬ ðð§ð ð§ðšð ððš ð¢ðŠð¢ðððð ðð§ð²ðšð§ð ðð¥ð¬ð. Willie Dixon taught him the importance of âdeliveringâ the song, so the people know you believe it. Albert Collins, almost a second father to Ronnie, would say, âTake what you like from what we do and make it you.â ðð§ ðððð, ð°ð¡ðð§ ðð¡ð ðð¢ðŠð ð°ðð¬ ð«ð¢ð ð¡ð ðð§ð ð°ð¢ðð¡ ððšð§ð§ð¢ðâð¬ ðð¥ðð¬ð¬ð¢ð§ð , ððð€ðð« ðð«ðšðšð€ð¬ ððšð«ðŠðð ð¡ð¢ð¬ ðšð°ð§ ð¥ðððð¥, ððððð¡ððšð ððððšð«ðð¬, ðð§ð ð«ðð¥ððð¬ðð ðð¡ð«ðð ð¬ðšð¥ðš ðð¥ðð®ðŠð¬ ðšð¯ðð« ðð¡ð ð§ðð±ð ðð¢ð ð¡ð ð²ððð«ð¬: 'Golddigger' (1998), 'Take Me Witcha' (2001), and 'The Torch' (2006).

His next solo album, 2017âs, 'Times Have Changed', was produced by drummer Steve Jordan (The Rolling Stones, Robert Cray) and issued on the Provogue label. The UKâs Record Collector magazine said, âBaker Brooks plays a heady blend of blues, soul and funkâŠan upbeat cocktail of guts, groove, stinging guitar work and soulful vocals.â The Blues Foundation has recognized Ronnieâs talent with a total of six Blues Music Award nominations. ððŠðšð§ð ð¡ð¢ð¬ ðŠðð§ð² ðð¥ð®ðð¬ ðð§ð ð¬ðšð®ð¥ ðŠðð§ððšð«ð¬ ðð§ð ðð«ð¢ðð§ðð¬, ððšð§ð§ð¢ð ð¡ðð¬ ðð¥ð¬ðš ð°ðšð«ð€ðð ðð¥ðšð¬ðð¥ð² ð°ð¢ðð¡ ð«ðšðð€ðð« ððšðð ððð«ð€ ððšð¡ð« ðšð ðð¢ð ðððð ððšðð & ðð¡ð ððšð§ð¬ððð«ð¬.

Heâs built his reputation as a white-hot performer one gig at a time. His eye-popping guitar work, soulful vocals, fireball energy and huge, crowd-pleasing personality keep his fans on the edge of their seats. In addition to performing at both Obama presidential inaugurations, he has played major festivals and concert halls across the U.S., Canada, the UK and Europe, as well as in Brazil and China. Heâs appeared at Polandâs Rawa Blues Festival, Spainâs Cazorla Blues Festival, Canadaâs Mt. Tremblant Festival, The Tampa Bay Blues Festival, Memphis In May, The North Atlantic Blues Festival, The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, and many more. In 2024, Ronnie, along with his friend and label-mate Shemekia Copeland, opened the famous Chicago Blues Festival (the 4th time heâs appeared as a headliner), with a roof-raising performance. Then, four days later, he helped close the festival outâalong with Copeland, his guitarist brother Wayne Baker Brooks and harmonica giant Billy Branchâjoining headliner Buddy Guy at Buddyâs request. ðð¢ð€ð ðð¥ð¥ ðð¡ð ð ð«ððð ðð¥ð®ðð¬ ðð«ðð¢ð¬ðð¬ ððððšð«ð ð¡ð¢ðŠ, ððšð§ð§ð¢ð ððð€ðð« ðð«ðšðšð€ð¬ ð¡ðð¬, ðð¡ð«ðšð®ð ð¡ ð¡ðð«ð ð°ðšð«ð€, ð©ðð«ð¬ðð¯ðð«ðð§ðð ðð§ð ð ð«ð¢ððð² ððððð«ðŠð¢ð§ððð¢ðšð§â ðð¥ðšð§ð ð°ð¢ðð¡ ð¡ð¢ð¬ ð©ð«ðšðð¢ð ð¢ðšð®ð¬, ð§ððð®ð«ðð¥ ððð¥ðð§ð ðð§ð ðð¡ðð«ð¢ð¬ðŠðâððð«ð§ðð ð¡ð¢ð¬ ð©ð¥ððð ð¢ð§ ðð¡ð ð®ð©ð©ðð« ððð¡ðð¥ðšð§ð¬ ðšð ðð¡ð ðð¥ð®ðð¬ ð°ðšð«ð¥ð.

I started my music career as his roadie. He wouldnât let me play onstage with him until I earned it, and until he was certain playing music was what I truly wanted to do. I grew up witnessing and learning from the legends of the blues. Iâm excited to continue to create Chicago blues as part of my family legacy and our shared history. Iâll always carry on and represent the blues in everything I do. Dad started the fire, Albert poured the gas on it, and Koko put the grill on.â Now, with 'Blues In My DNA', itâs time to feast.
