Since you knew they was goin' to cheat you anyway, I recorded under any name with all of 'em.

My style is all to myself.

In my career, people in the record business have been rockin' in the same ol' boat. They all crooks - I'll say it clear and loud - especially the big ones.

They wasn't gonna give you nothin'. I didn't care as long as they let me play my music. Cash on the spot... You cheat me and I'm gonna get me some money, too.

The way Will Moore taught me, and the way I play it, the blues is just something different.

I went on to Cincinnati. I had got a taste of the big cities and them bright lights. I stayed there until I was about 18 or 19 and then I went on to Detroit.

It don't take me no three days to record no album.
