Blue Ribbon - The Best of William Brooks by William Brooks William Brooks : Blue Ribbon - The Best of William Brooks.
 Entrancing and ruggedly individualistic, earthy and ethereal songs.

A great album for driving, Blue Ribbon features the very best of down-to-earth singer-songwriter William Brooks, whose blues-tinged, narrative folk-rock is appealingly world weary, yet always driven by Brooks' rocker sensibilities. Standout tracks include the down and dirty "Justified" and the tender, string infused "Grace." Selected New Folk Finalist at The Kerrville Folk Festival.
