Brooks Williams - 'My Turn Now'
Brooks Williams stands on tradition but he doesn’t stand still. His influences fly so fast and furious they blur. Like drinking whiskey from a honey jar, you get both the sweet and the bite.
He not only tours like a hellhound’s on his trail, and creates a super-charged music that is electrifying and fighting-fit. Brooks was born in Statesboro, Georgia (the town made famous by country-blues legend Blind Willie McTell), is a great singer. In 2013 he was nominated ‘best male vocalist’ by the UK’s foremost roots-music mavens, Spiral Earth. AmericanaUK says, “he has a beautiful voice that you just melt into.”
And he’s one helluva good guitar player, ranked in the “Top 100 Acoustic Guitarists.” The San Antonio Light says that Williams is a “fret monster who has to be seen to be believed!”


Brooks Williams writes songs that are a collision of roots and evolution. Rocking. Economical. Ironic. The arrangements are tight, and yet the performances are rich in blues pathos. Words like timeless, astute, archetypal just about cover it.
Walking the line between blues and Americana, Brooks Williams has worked stages worldwide for over 25 years, amassing a staggering back-catalogue of songs, recordings and tales. With nearly 23 CDs to his name, fRoots says Williams’ music “Americana at its finest!”

Coming Your Way The Whiskey Brothers

COMING YOUR WAY THE WHISKEY BROTHERS


Hot out of the fertile Blues Delta of Birmingham, The Whiskey Brothers are ready to take to the road with their own personal take on the hokum rural blues and jug music of 
 1930s/1950s America.

They have an album set for release on Big Bear Records.

It’s called ‘Bottle Up And Go’, recorded in June at Gospel Oak Studios, deep in the 
English Mid-West: 
Big Bear Records,

“If you’d strolled past a juke joint or bar anywhere from Tutwiler to Maxwell Street, anytime between 1920 and 1950, you would have heard music like this” Stuart ‘Son’ Maxwell
