I would like to be remembered as a - somebody who could rock your soul or make your cry with a song. And somebody who's kind, who loved to laugh, and loved his God.

I got tired of playing other people's songs.

There's only one cook in the kitchen, only one chef. I let the soloists do their thing - you've gotta let a man do a solo the way he wants - but as far as picking the tunes and working on the arrangements, I take full responsibility for it.

One of these days I will be an old man in a rocking chair on a porch. Wouldn't it be nice to have my whole life there to read and kind of re-live it.

Rock 'n roll was born in the South, man. It's like saying rock-rock.

In my line of business, there's no better feeling than having a real nice work that you're really satisfied with.

I got Jimmy Hall from Wet Willie and he also plays now with Hank Williams Jr.
