I never had the blues; the blues always had me.

Everybody would grab a guitar and listen to somebody else and call themselves a folk singer. When they didn't know no more songs, they'd run out of them.

The last thing that the blues needs is another smart-ass white boy with an attitude.

My guitar was loud as hell, and I had no sympathy for anybody else.

When somebody blazes a path to a highway that never end, you should appreciate 'em some.

Logically, when you talkin' about folk music and blues, you find out it's music of just plain people.

That's what I liked about hitch-hiking. If a crowd wasn't big enough, I kept walkin.'
