If you can't play the blues... you might as well hang it up.

You don't have to live the blues to play the blues.

I still like to play the blues more than anything else.

Yes, there's a lot of the blues in my playing.

When you are through with the blues, you've got nothing to rest on.

There were times I thought I was going to turn to the blues, but then I'd hear better blues players.

To me, blues is more of a feel and a vibe, rather than sitting there and saying, 'Well, I'm gonna play bluesy now.'

I think that as you get older, you mellow out a lot more. Having been through the ups and downs in life, I feel more qualified to play the blues.

I don't want to be in some big beautiful place that nobody want me, because I play the blues.

I'm a big, big blues fan and the last several years I've really invested in the blues a lot, and I think my playing is getting better because of it - not necessarily better on a technical level, but certainly on a level of appropriateness.
