Ron Thompson, he's my main man!

I hitchhiked, took trucks 'n' trains - anything that would pick me up. I stopped in Memphis for about six months and they found me and come got me. Stayed about a month an' split again.

No matter what you got, the blues is there

I remember back in Detroit, I used to go to the Apex Bar every night after I got off work. The bartender there used to call me Boom Boom. I don't know why, but he did.

The blues tells a story. Every line of the blues has a meaning.

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

But I don't want to do no big tours or go out on the road.
