I like playin' for an audience the best, though, I think

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

The blues was so big in the late '60s that it kinda wore itself out, and people weren't diggin' the blues as much.

I think it will always be around it just takes one person to make people aware of the blues.

Everybody was tellin' me that I had to do something different, and I kind of agreed that I did need to vary it a little bit. I still love some rock 'n' roll too.

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

When I was about 12, I knew I wanted to be a musician. The blues had so much emotion and so much feeling; if you don't have that, you're not going to be good at it.
