Steve Brooks
	"Steve Brooks has made an important contribution to the Texas tradition of the singer-poet-musician, saying those things we think and dream about, but never get to hear expressed. His lyrics, singing and instrumental work all ring true. This excellent CD, 'Purgatory Road,' takes us all on a journey. Highly recommended." - David Amram, composer
