I love music more just in and of itself. I love harmony and rhythm.
As far as I'm concerned, blues and jazz are the great American contributions to music.
So yeah, I am definitely a blues man at heart.
I can't imagine anything more worthwhile than doing what I most love. And they pay me for it.
But when I played Woodstock, I'll never forget that moment looking out over the hundreds of thousands of people, the sea of humanity, seeing all those people united in such a unique way. It just touched me in a way that I'll never forget.
I'm primarily thought of as a rocker, and certainly 'Frankenstein' had a very dramatic power rock image. It was almost a precursor of heavy metal and fusion. But I also love jazz and classical and if there's one common thread that runs through all my music, it is blues.
