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

I always wanted to play music and have it be my career and knew this by the age of 12

The best artists are gone now.

Little Walter I would've liked to have played with

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.

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.

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