I don't tend to have a favorite album; I tend to have favorite tracks. There are flaws in every album that spoil it for me.

I wouldn't count myself as being a true blues guitarist because I feel you have to live it.

To me there's a definite way of doing a song. If I didn't think that, I wouldn't have done it that way in the first place.

I don't tend to stand still for very long.

I go through about two Fender mediums a night because I don't pick straight down; it's sort of sideways, and it shaves them off.

If you want to do rock and roll, forget about those who've come after '65.

The first real thing I heard was Three O'Clock Blues by B.B. King. That's where it all began for me.
