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.
As far as I'm concerned, blues and jazz are the great American contributions to music.
Music is very spiritual, it has the power to bring people together.
There's a bootleg album that was recorded when I was 14 or 15, a compilation of things live at different clubs. Songs like Girl from Ipanema and Cry Me A River. I don't know what the title of it is.
I liked the more sophisticated urban style of blues like Ray Charles and B. B. King, Bobby Blue Bland, Lou Rawls; people like that with more of a tendency toward jazz.
