Pam Brooks & Lonesome Wind released a new Bluegrass CD entitled, Waiting For The Wind recently and by all accounts, this CD will be an Award Winner. Pam was born in Hamilton, Ontario and now lives with her husband and her two children in London, Ontario. Pam is a very talented singer/songwriter and had been in a country band for some years. Her father taught her how to play the guitar and do vocals. She recently formed a bluegrass band from very talented musicians and called her band, Lonesome Wind.
Then they decided to put together a bluegrass CD, and what a great choice they made! This must be the top bluegrass CD received by Atlantic Seabreeze in some time. It should take many bluegrass awards in 2004. We rate this album a full 5 stars + out of 5 stars. The CD contains 12 tracks, one of which Pam wrote herself entitled, Waiting For the Wind, called the CD after this song and it is a masterpiece. All other 11 tracks contain bluegrass and traditional favourites. Pam sings all lead vocals, plays rhythm guitar and sings most of the tenor vocals over her own lead vocals.
Here are the titles of all the other songs, many of which are standard traditional country and bluegrass songs and will bring back many memories to the listener; Lonesome Wind Blues-Once More-Little Angels-I Wish You Know-Don't Let Me Cross Over-Are You Teasing Me-Just Call On Me-Roses In The Snow-Unwed Fathers-Hickory Wind and Darkest Hour Is Just Before Dawn.
Her band members are the most talented musicians that one can find and on this CD, their sound is completely outstanding and Pam's voice is what can I say, look out Rhonda Vincent, a Nashville top bluegrass singer. Other music artists who helped with the music and vocals on the CD are; Loren Johnson, Maria Polillo, Norm Tellier, Norvil Brooks, Randy Morrison and Doug Dietrich.
Here are the names of the Lonesome Wind band: Gary D'Entremont, mandolin, harmony/lead vocals-Paul Hurdle, banjo, harmony vocals-Al Widmeyer, resophonic guitar, fiddle, guitar, lead/harmony vocals, Guy Tellier, acoustic bass and of course Pam Brooks, lead vocals, harmony and guitar.
The CD is getting rave reviews from everywhere and their performing schedule is building rapidly. It is no wonder, judging from their their awesome CD sound and by their recent CD showcase at the CKNX Barn Dance Show, where over 1000 excited people attended and enjoyed their fresh new sound.
