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 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.

So yeah, I am definitely a blues man at heart.

Music is very spiritual, it has the power to bring people together.

I can't imagine anything more worthwhile than doing what I most love. And they pay me for it.

When you record for a label, they own that material in perpetuity, meaning that they can release, chose not to release , or repackage it any way they so choose... with or without the permission of the artist.

I love music more just in and of itself. I love harmony and rhythm.
