When I got old enough to go to night clubs to hear that music at the age of 15.

I think about legacy a lot, hopefully at the end of the day they say I was a good bluesman. That's all I want.

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

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 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.

I just like the blues better than rock 'n' roll

Yeah, we went to England to do a show and I got off the plane and I couldn't write my name or hold my hand up.
