Brooke Ramel - Turn It Around

For "Turn It Around", Brooke worked with a young, talented producer named Busbee. The result - an acoustic-rock CD with strong songwriting and great production. "Turn It Around" has more rock influences than her previous recordings - not unlike Sheryl Crow or Stevie Nicks - but it still has Brooke's positive outlook on life. "Turn It Around" is already getting attention on film and television, with the songs "A Long Way" featured on "Beautiful People", and "Let It Out" featured in the motion picture "Bonneville". Brooke is very proud of her latest studio CD, and thinks you will love it. About Brooke Ramel: Brooke was born in Raytown, Missouri.
