I never build myself us. I let the people do that. I'm the most laid-back person, and I let them build me up. If you ask me, I say, 'I''m just a guy playin' some blues.

I don't play a lot of fancy guitar. I don't want to play it. The kind of guitar I want to play is mean, mean licks.

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

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