 I always wanted to play music and have it be my career and knew this by the age of 12. |
| My mother played piano so we always had music around the house. |
| I'm not good enough to be playin' much acoustic guitar onstage. Man, you gotta get so right; I mean, the tones, the feel, the sound. Plus, acoustic blues guitar is just that much harder on the fingers. |
| Little Walter I would've liked to have played with. |
| T-Bone Walker was a big influence on just about every guitar player around. |
| Derek Trucks is a real good new artist. He's a young guy. |
| There were a whole lot, I bought every blues record I could find, it wasn't just one or two people. My vocal influences were Ray Charles and Bobby Blue Bland. |
| The Progressive Blues Experiment, Johnny Winter... and Still Alive and Well is my favorite rock record. |
| I really appreciate when someone can blow me away with live acoustic blues. |
| When I started workin' with Muddy. That convinced me that I could get away with doin' the blues. |
| Oh, I love to play on the road. I really love it. |
| I just like the blues better than rock 'n' roll. |
| Well, one of the best things is workin' with Muddy. |
| I think it will always be around it just takes one person to make people aware of the blues. |
| Everybody was tellin' me that I had to do something different, and I kind of agreed that I did need to vary it a little bit. I still love some rock 'n' roll too. |
| Yeah, we went to England to do a show and I got off the plane and I couldn't write my name or hold my hand up. |
| I never really got to know Jimi as a person. |
| The best artists are gone now. |
| When I got old enough to go to night clubs to hear that music at the age of 15. |
| Jimi was always at The Scene when he was in New York and we played many times together. He was just everywhere - he went out and jammed everywhere he was. |
