It's great to have something you can be proud of.
The first real thing I heard was Three O'Clock Blues by B.B. King. That's where it all began for me.
I use a combination of all my influences on my albums.
There's more power in the simpler things, I think.
The guitar part is the pivot of everything we do, so if you change the guitar part you no longer have what it is.
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.
