I know that I'm capable of moving around on the guitar. I can express myself the way I want to and feel good about it. But as far as technical chops, I'm not a learned musician.

The blues is the foundation for a lot of things. Things have branched off. Its cool how music grows, but the foundation is always there. Its not going anywhere. The blues is always going to be relevant.

I opened up my mind as far as playing music. I was at a Cody Chesnutt concert a few years ago, and a friend introduced me to him. We just started talking about music, and he asked me what I did. I said, "I have these songs and I'm kind of nervous to put them out, because I've just kind of been playing blues stuff, and playing other people's songs." He said, "You should just put them out there, man. Why not? It's just gonna bother you if you don't. The easiest thing to do is to just let it go." So I just took that with me.

I don't think anything can touch the expressive range of the guitar.

I am the type of artist where you can't tell me anything. I have always been that way. I am right. I don't need any input.

I've been called 'musically schizophrenic,' and some people think that's a cool thing.

Music is soaking up things that I see in other people or things that go on in my life, and I put it out there in the form of a song.
