The one thing the blues don't get is the backing and pushing of TV and radio like a lot of this garbage you hears. They choke stuff down people's throat so they got no choice but to listen to it.

Ron Thompson, he's my main man!

All my life I been doin' what people tell me to do. Now, I'm telling them.

I have heartaches, I have blues. No matter what you got, the blues is there. 'Cause that's all I know - the blues. And I can sing the blues so deep until you can have this room full of money and I can give you the blues.

I do benefits. I do them all the time. There's so many people out there that needs help that I can't say I won't help them.

I like dropping into a small club and playing with some people, trying to help them get a start.

I just get an idea and then all of a sudden I've got a song.
