I think I deliberately sold out a couple of times. I picked the songs that I thought would do well in the marketplace, even though I didn't really love the song.

The first band I identified with from Chicago was the Muddy Waters band.

The point of being at home is to be with my family as much as possible.

To sing in a lower key is harder work. You have to use your diaphragm more.

I thought, 'My God, this is like Buddy Guy on acid.'

For me there is something primitively soothing about this music, and it went straight to my nervous system, making me feel ten feet tall.

When I look for what I'm going to listen to I go backwards. I'm always going the other way you see. Most people are trying to figure out 'how do I get in the fast lane going that way?'. I'm going in the other direction. I wanna find the oldest thing to do.
