I don't really do sad, depressing songs.

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

Most of the songs I sing have that blues feeling in it. They have that sorry feeling. And I don't know what I'm sorry about. I don't.

Some of the greatest blues music is some of the darkest music you've ever heard.

I wanna record these girls individually. And then, I wanna cut a blues album on me. But all of it, original stuff, you know. When I listen to the blues today, it's like they all sounds similar. I wanna do something different, to try to add to the blues flavor.

I would sing the blues if I had the blues.

Don't waste your time away thinkin' 'bout yesterday's blues.

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

There was a time we decided that it was songs that were done especially from my background because of the things we were dealing with, but nowadays, anybody who has a need, and can find the need, they can sing the blues.
