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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.
