I remember when I thought of singing as the bit that went between the guitar playing - something I couldn't wait to get out of the way. Singing was originally like a chore that I didn't really enjoy.

Music will always find its way to us, with or without business, politics, religion, or any other bullshit attached.

I've always wanted the sound of Muddy Waters' early records - only louder

I'd love to knock an audience cold with one note, but what do you do for the rest of the evening?

The blues are what I've turned to, what has given me inspiration and relief in all the trials of my life.

I just like the company of beautiful women. I have a weakness in that department.

I tried when I was 13, when my grandparents gave me an acoustic guitar, and I tried for a year. It hurt so much to play. I mean, the fingertips hurt so much, I gave up.
