https://www.americanbluesscene.com/2022/09/wayne-baker-brooks-and-the-power-of-a-dream/Not only Alligator records and I had dinner(s) to talk about doing records together, but also Bullseye/Rounder, & then Ruf Records (we both still owe each other a record due to one of the last wishes of blues legend Luther Allison). l truly love these record companies and their operations but I also love owning my own masters too.

*other excerpts*

"The whole thing is to keep not only my dad’s legacy going, but have my own going too! People tend to forget where it (blues music) comes from, and I personally want everyone, all Americans, to know their history, no matter whether they’re white or black"
