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

I'm not a super blues player, but I was exposed to the Texas blues sound while I was growing up, and that definitely rubbed off on me.

I used to be a great blues singer.

When I began my career, I was constantly referred to as the kid who could play the blues.

But my big thing was always the blues.

I like the blues a lot. I grew up on it.

I was considered as a jazz man rather than as a blues player. There were no blues players-you played one sort of jazz of another sort of jazz.

Hearing the blues changed my life.

So yeah, I am definitely a blues man at heart.
