What I like is natural music. It's like I was born with a gift to do something naturally, which I have no choice but to followup on.

I've always listened to jazz or folk or blues. I was always listening to the prophets. I don't really go for...I don't know how to say anything about the singles scene without slamming people.

I'd found that what I wrote and put out on records somehow was not fitting into how I perform on stage.

You can put out an album and it could be totally out of the window as far as what you want to do performance-wise.

Let your soul and spirit fly.

Definitely Muddy Waters has been a prime influence for anybody who's ever done anything rock 'n' roll.

The whole trip that happened in the late 60s and 70s was kind of a throwback to a lot of folk styles. I got into it as well 'cause I started with the folk styles.
