Brooksie Wells
Brooksie Wells, veteran children's musician and mother of two, returns to her country and rock roots with a new CD. Recorded in her Warrenton home studio, she combined local talent with well-known old friends from her early days in the music business, both to perform and produce the recording. She then called on Sperryville's Oasis Recording to manufacture the finished product.
Discovered by Bobby Darin, Brooksie wrote for years for Chapel Music, with several of her songs used in recordings and movie soundtracks. She later performed with John Lennon's band Elephant's Memory and as a singer with Kid Creole and the Coconuts. (Kid Creole's recording "Off The Coast Of Me" has just been re-released on Island Records.)
While raising two kids in the early 1990's, she became an international children's performer, recording "Rainbow Family" and "Brooksie's Kid Songs."
Returning to her singer-songwriter roots, she released "Call It A Day" in the late 1990's to critical acclaim, followed by "Been There" an album of twelve all-original alt.country songs. Brooksie will soon release "Anything But Love" - her 5th solo album.

..Female vocalist/songwriter Brooksie Wells serves up some well-written pop/rock with a touch of blues on her latest album, titled “Anything But Love.” Wells’ vocals glide through each track with style and grace while delivering crisp and clean clarity. Wells has a talent for writing, as her lyrics are well-composed with meaningful content. Be sure to take note of the dynamic balance between vocals and instruments giving this album a high-quality sound. Look no further for that old school guitar sound on tunes such as “Talk to You” or “Loose End.” Feel the bluesy tones of the harmonica on “High Road” while the background vocals balance out this catchy little tune. Fans of Bonnie Raitt or Dixie Chicks won’t be disappointed when hearing Brooksie Wells’ “Anything But Love,” full of pop blended with blues. ..-Diane and the RadioIndy.com Reviewer Team Check out Brooksie Wells's music on RadioIndy.com with link to purchase and links to popular sites
Glad to see and hear that the new CD is finished. It sounds great and I did order it from CD Baby! I liked hearing it better with just you and your guitar at your place though ;-). Wishing you lots of luck and all good things in the future.
Hey Brooksie - I just finished listening to your CD. I think you did a great job. I have to tell you, I really enjoyed the variety in the mix of all the songs you included. High Road was my favorite...I was trying to pluck out the tune right after it finished but I enjoyed every song.
Hola my dear Ms Wells You are looking & singing swell Just wanted to officially thank you for making me cool as chicken soup by bringing me into your cyber loop Hope you don't mind my rhyme Cause in some circles it can be considered a crime
Come stand by my side where I'm going, Take my hand if I stumble and fall, It's the strength that you share when you're growing, That gives me what I need most of all.
