The only thing that interests me is history - reviewing the past and making something out of it.
I've got a very behind-the-scenes personality. I don't know how I became a performer. I like to stay discreet, out of the public eye, very low-key.
What I do and what I record only work for the moment.
The blues ain't nothing but a good man feelin' bad.
I extract what I consider the best material from different sources. But often the material I perform comes from a very strange location in history, which are minstrel shows.
