Country music has the great stories.

My mother used to play nothing but Billie Holiday.

I talked to the record company about what I had in mind. They said they wanted something lush. I figured the best thing to do was let them hear what I had in mind.

I figured I could do "It's A Man's, Man's, Man's World" because I believe it's the truth.

I don't care who's playing. Even if it's my favorite artist, I'm probably not gonna go and see him.

Bobby Womack is always very real, both with his music and as a person.

All the things I used to like - cookies, ice cream, gumbo - I don't like anymore.
