The Music of Philip John Brooks
My father, Philip John Brooks, is a musician. He started out touring the UK and US playing rock music, but now he focuses on original folk music in both American and British styles. The songs on his first solo album, Fishermen of Fleetwood, are about growing up in a fishing village on the northwest coast of England, while those on his newest, A Different Time, a Different Place are about the American Southwest, especially New Mexico, and its current events and colorful history. He now has a new website, The Tin Whistle, with links to reviews, places to sample and buy his CDs, and a touring schedule (but an unfortunate color scheme, which I think may change soon). Anyway, go listen, and feel free to order a few CDs!

I'll be touring with him as a roadie of sorts in New Mexico the end of this month and beginning of the next one. I'm looking forward to it. I haven't been there in years, but it used to be a frequent Brooks family vacation spot before I went off to college.
