I love playing guitar. It's the only thing I've ever really been great at.

I just hope I'm remembered as a good blues musician.

When I started workin' with Muddy. That convinced me that I could get away with doin' the blues.

There were a whole lot, I bought every blues record I could find, it wasn't just one or two people. My vocal influences were Ray Charles and Bobby Blue Bland.

Little Walter I would've liked to have played with

I really appreciate when someone can blow me away with live acoustic blues

I think the blues will always be around. People need it.
