With the style of music that I do, I don't think it's at the top of their agenda to push me into doing any compromising material.

I've been getting into different gospel artists; Aretha Franklin is someone I've been listening to a lot of.

Apparently, there's this whole set of disgruntled people but obviously it's not my intention to offend anyone by changing the style of music that I've done.

When I began my career, I was constantly referred to as the kid who could play the blues.

Probably my favorite artists to listen to James Taylor, Stevie Wonder - I haven't gone back in a really long time and really listened to them - my first guitar influences. It's been awhile since I revisited that.

Well, I got married about two and a half years ago, and that's been a big change in my life.

Well, people who are blues purist types are usually the most vocal and the ones that pop up on the websites.
