Roadhouse Rules is an album by the American musician Lonnie Brooks, released in 1996.[1][2] It was his seventh album for Alligator Records.[3] The album peaked at No. 15 on the Billboard Blues Albums chart.[4] Brooks supported it with a North American tour.[5]
Recorded mostly in Memphis with studio musicians, the album was produced by Jim Gaines.[6] Brooks wrote seven of its songs; he made a point of paying attention to what his blues contemporaries were doing on their albums.[1][7] It marked the first time that Brooks included an acoustic blues song on an album.[6] Brooks used a Gibson ES-355 on most of the tracks.[8] Sugar Blue played harmonica on "Roll of the Tumbling Dice".[9] The Memphis Horns played on "Too Little, Too Late".[10] "Hoodoo She Do" was written by Brooks's son Ronnie Baker Brooks, who also played guitar on Roadhouse Rules.[11]
