I have no problem with religion, and I grew up with a strong curiosity about spiritual matters, but my searching took me away from church and community worship to the internal journey. Before my recovery began, I found my God in music and the arts, with writers like Hermann Hesse, and musicians like Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, and Little Walter.

I grew up playing in clubs - that's my spiritual stomping ground.

A British pressing with a compilation of the best stuff really, I mean actually not only that but, these were all kind of semi hits for the people on it in America.

If you hand me a guitar, I'll play the blues. That's the place I automatically go.

'My Father's Eyes' is very personal. I realized that the closest I ever came to looking in my father's eyes was when I looked into my son's eyes.

I don't have half the nerves there that I have anywhere else.

Up until I became a father, it was all about self-obsession. But then I learned exactly what it's all about: the delight of being a servant.
