All the blues greats took chances and developed their own style. They didn't copy.
I liked the Beatles because there was so much melody.
I pulled the Johnny character from the Jamaican Johnny Too Bad thing.
I cook Italian, Thai and Vietnamese, I've always liked to cook.
I realized I was tired of singing about trees and flowers. I wanted to sing about real life. From then on, nobody could tell me anything was better than blues.
Normally when we go in and write the songs we write, we think about doing a cover, but never a covers record. That would be, for us, a concept. We don't want to have a concept!
