Brooks Meets Powerful Influence, 5 Blind Boys of Alabama

Brooks was invited to a taping of the 5 Blind Boys of Alabama at 100 Huntley Street and was serendipitously asked to do a photo with the Blind Boys. Long time admirer, Brooks has mentioned them in songs in previous cd's and upcoming 'No Easy Way Out' CD's lead off single 'Aint That The Truth'.  A recent concert that had Susan Tedeschi open for the Blind Boys inspired two songs on the upcoming CD, produced by legendary Capricorn Records, Johnny Sandlin for Rockin' Camel Records

'Where Sinners & Saints Collide', co-written with Dean McTaggart and 'Ain't That The Truth' where Brooks sings "Then I heard Clarence Fountain, the 5 Blind Boys of Alabama, mixing it up with Susan Tedeschi back in Toronto, I ain't never heard nobody sing like that before, it don't get more real than that Brother ain't that the truth". On it's a Southern Thing, Brooks sings "I heard the 5 Blind Boys of Alabama, come on the radio, man those boys can see". Thank you George/Sr Producer at Huntley St. and Ron/ Host of Huntley and the Five Blind Boys of Alabama for 'making my day!"
