This business switching styles can't be done honestly by one man. As soon as he can play his instrument well, he can express himself, and all his life he has only one self.

When I go in front of an audience, I'll admit I sometimes have a certain amount of fear in me, because maybe the people are not going to accept what I'm doing today. That's bad for any artist, especially if what you're doing is not in line with what's happening today.

I'm more relaxed when I can hear the beat clearly all the time I'm singing.

If I'm going to do blues, it's going to be a typical Jimmy Rushing record.
