As a guitar player, you can gravitate to the blues because you can play it easily. It's not a style that's difficult to pick up. It's purely emotive and dead easy to get a start with.

I would say that I'm finding my voice in more ways than one.

I am not a jazz singer. I wouldn't place myself on that footing. I wouldn't even enter that arena.

The short answer is, yes, I think I have become a better singer.

Quite frankly, I've always listened to the black side of the radio dial. Where I grew up, there was a lot of it and there was a lot of live music around.

I really just followed my musical instincts every step of my life.

A lot of what I have always done is do other singers.
