I've only had one platinum album, and it's 'Red River Blue'.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've basically got an album full of singles.
Don't get me wrong, I love my first two albums a lot.
I wouldn't think a blues album would be that commercially successful, but I don't really care. I'd do it for the love of blues, not for the money. I've got plenty of money.
I have a lot of albums yet to do.
There's 40 or 50 songs that nobody's heard that I've done in between albums. There's a whole evolution from Midnite Vultures to Sea Change that's never been released.
I definitely associate music with color. For example, my first record has a red cover but it is totally green and blue to me.
I never thought of having platinum albums and winning awards. I just wanted to write songs and sing when I started out in the music business.
I've probably written about three albums that no one will ever hear.
My first five albums were triple-platinum, and I played a lot of concerts.
I have this first album that sells more than 100,000 copies in its first week, debuts at number two, goes gold, the single goes platinum, we're doing Madison Square Garden.
