For a black male, the sound of the blues is pre-Civil Rights. It's oppression.

You know, I've never done karaoke, ever. It makes me nervous - I think it's the lack of the guitar and just a microphone.

Things that I would say or would like to saw are just easier to sing about and put out there in music.

I don't believe in competition, ain't nobody else like me around

I failed public speaking in grade school, 'cause I was so nervous and scared.

When I was growing up, I would go hang out with older guys at night in blues clubs.

I'm obsessed with fuzz pedals.
